If you value inteligent conversations between yourself and others, I suggest you do not apply.

You will make more money by being your own "geek squad" advertise your services yourself.
I have charged people up to $17 an hour and as low as $13.50 an hour. I doubt you will make that at geek squad..
And all you need to sell this to people who may need your help is to have geek squads prices right next to you...
They charge alot more for less.

You have to be at least 16 to work at Geek Squad. At that time you're starting wage will be circa $9 per hour. At 15 you're pretty limited to where you can work. McDonalds and BK are some of your few options.

Also, working for Geek Squad requires you to abandon all morals and ethics.

Why the hate on the squad? jk. I do know a few people that worked there and they learned a lot and ended up being manager and getting certs and then getting better jobs. There's nothing wrong with working there.

As long as you don't mind charging ignorant people hundreds of dollars for minutes of outrageously easy work that could be achieved with free software that coders coded purely out of the goodness of their heart and not for financial gain.
