Re: It's Screwed NOW

well, if that happens, best buy is just going to give you an estimate for a new computer.

(oh, and to the way above, I've always felt if you have to mention certifications, you aren't a real tech) Real techs get their creds in the trenches.

Yes, I'm sure thats exactly what they will do ...being that no one from best buy is possibly qualified to work on any electronics..

Wow, I didn't know that certifications actually made you not certified to be a technician... "you aren't a real tech" what type of BS is that? Certifications help establish credibility, although experience is invaluable.

Re: It's Screwed NOW

Best Buy has had it's ups and downs and several employees have got screwed by the company, including me. Most of the technicians that work for Best Buy do know computers and electronics and like me have B.S. degrees in computers and are stuck at Best Buy trying to get experience to advance into other careers. It can be very hard to advance after working on computers in a retail setting. A lot of why Best Buy has had problems is because of the controlling factors of Management, Staffing, Constant customer interactions, and our Service Centers that are too far away from the stores. Best Buy hasn't always had a good service reputation, but with Geek Squad coming in, I thing Best Buy has more potential than they would have ever had on their own.

I got the certs because my job paid for them and required them. Otherwise I wouldn't have bothered.
