Yeah, but not just repairing computers. If the OP is talking like PC and laptop repair, Geek Squad type stuff, you can pay the bills with it but you won't be making 6 figures by any means. Plus, that field is pretty saturated right now. You need to learn more than just fixing hardware.



Are you talking about entering some sort of certificate program or an actual degree?
