Computer Service Technician Career

According to the U.S. Census Department, over 60% of American homes have at least one PC. And that figure doesn't even account for the enormous number of businesses nor the worldwide market. Computers have become commonplace, and our dependence on them spells good news for the computer service technician. In 2004, there were over 168,000 jobs for these handy computer whizzes.

The Computer Service Tech
As a computer service technician, you'll most likely work as either a field technician or a bench technician. If you're a field tech, that means you'll head off to the homes and offices of your customers. There, you can service mainframe, server, and personal computers; printers; and disc drives, while checking to see if any problems are site specific. If you're a bench tech, customers will haul their machines in to you. This is handy, because you'll have all your materials at hand. In either capacity, you'll dig in and perform hands-on service, for which many of your customers will no doubt be extremely grateful.

What Background is Needed?
To land work as a computer service technician, you'll want to get some certification in electronics. You can obtain certification from an associate degree program, the military, your local vocational school, or an equipment manufacturer. Once you get a job, your employer will probably give you some training on the specific equipment for which you're responsible and may pay for you to participate in professional development training sessions. After all, to properly service computers, you'll need to keep up with the ever-changing technology and service procedures.

Computer service technicians save the day everyday. So, if you like working with PCs and helping people out of computer jams, you'd likely be particularly well suited to a computer service technician career.
