Get a job working with computers, repairing, setup, building, etc. Look into A+ Certification, networking, etc _________________

Basically make computing your full time hobby.
By that, I mean spending all your free time looking at new hardware/software/games, customizing your computer, read computer books when your doing nothing, wear those big rim glasses that nerdy computer geeks wear (not really)... |

Wait for someone to ask if you know anything about computers, say "A bit" and see what they want.
Fix with ease and ask for your check. |

Get your hands dirty when ever you got a chance.
Go to computer shops and get those old parts to have a basic feeling about computers because reading a book can only go so far.
Experience does not equal knowledge.  |

Doesn't this question seem off to anyone else?
If you are interested in computers, no doubt you are already probably doing things that would expand upon that interest.
I've literally looked at this thread a couple of time and wondered, "what the fuck?" |
