I'm 28 now, I remember my grandma had an old Mac when I was in elementary school and if I did bad on any grades, she would make me play a learning game on that subject I did worst at, lol. The big floppys she had a case for all of them we'd play all the games. Green screen. But seriously she told me back then "you should grow up and have a job in technology because she's amazed of the change in her lifetime, she said everything is going to end up running off computers.
I've always remembered that, but also I remember always being into computers, and all the older people always had me help them with stuff, so learned from that.
Had a computer my mom bought from a yard sale one of those off white random towers, I was around 13 or 14 and was all about burning cd's lol. So if the computer messed up I could get my music so I'd sit there and try/learn how to fix it. Took it to a repair shop one time and seen a sign "All Bench Work $99/hour" and thought.... That's what I'm trying to do, I was amazed by everything.
Skip to today.. I'm owner of my own business Wills Computer Repair in Wilson NC, I have a shop and I'm the tech, I fix computers/smartphones/tablets, I do businesses and residential work.
I also do website design, graphics, music production
My last/current job, I'm working on installing a solar powered wireless IP camera/router setup for a company to use on job sites.
