well someone said i can make up to 25,000 a year?
is that true?

That seems to be the average salary for PC techs...sometimes even $30,000+ IF you get into networking technologies as well.

Don't overlook mastering networking technologies. Most PC techs that started out with a A+ Cert also go and get the Network + certification. Not only are you fixing PC's but will also be qualified to work with networking problems. If you search for jobs online, you will see there is heavy demand for PC techs with networking skills.

If you are going the self-taught route, then college will help you with English writing skills and sometimes, it even helps with being more professional...these are important qualities for a PC tech.

And lol cheesesoda was a bit harsh on you but he has a point. Also, 100% of computer issues can be solved by Google. Perhaps I can search better becuase I went to an awesome middle school where, in 7th grade, the whole concept of "Google/context search words" were hammered into my head by the librarian lady. But I give you credit for being curious and passionate about computers...you are trying so that's very good.

Anyway, I see a semester or two at a community college taking English and speech classes will help. Take a class that prepares you for speech by taking a class that tests your presentation skills. Reading, writing, and speech skills are important. you don;t have to be elite pr0 at it but you need to have a firm grip. Writing is important as PC techs are expected to document EVERY problem they face and their solution so it can be used for future reference.

So a lot of skills come into play. Just work hard and you will get back the fruit of your labor.

Good luck man....all the best for you.

EDIT: Without waiting any further, get this book:
http://cgi.ebay.com/A-Certification-All-in-One-Exam-Guide-S-Mike-Meyers_W0QQitem Z220263427704QQihZ012QQcategoryZ378QQrdZ1QQssPageNameZWD2VQQcmdZViewItemQQ_trksi dZp1638Q2em122

It's a really big book but full of pictures and vital information...you will enjoy this. The book is used by many people who go on to take the A+ exam. And I see, it will perfectly help you get started.
