thinking of applying to compusa..

[mrCide]

..as a tech.. anyone know how much they get paid?

lady at bestbuy said she thinks they make 9 or 10 an hour which sounds pretty crappy.. so i figure id check compusa too.

Have you had a lobotomy yet? You'll need one to get on at either Best Buy or CompUSA.

Don't do it. Everybody you know will start thinking you're a computer guru and start driving you crazy with their computer problems. The prestige that comes with working as a tech at a chain store might cause your ego to inflate to the bursting point and you'll have a stroke. Your supervisor, who will be a complete moron, will have you installing RTCF as the newest upgrade to the VIA 4 in 1 drivers.

Take some pride in yourself.

well, the people i know alreayd know im a computer guru, and know only to ask me for help if its important 🙂

i need to start saving and rakc in some experience at a real job while i finish up my mcse/ccna

 

[Pocatello]

Apply for the job. I would.

 

[ThaGrandCow]

Take the job, everyone's gotta start somewhere. Plus, as long as you have thick skin you'll get hours and hours of funny stories to tell people

Seriously - a "crack whore trainee" has more prestige than a CompUSA tech.

My friend was a Staples tech, he made $9 and change/hour

[Woogoat]
