Is it worth it to repair digital equipment?

Question

Career in IT

Hello! Very often I see vacancies on the Internet, especially on Avito, where PC / laptop / phone repair technicians are required. Moreover, high salaries are always indicated, in cities with a million inhabitants, except for Moscow and St. Petersburg, they write from 40,000.
I want to ask who is in the subject, are such high salaries realistic? What is the complexity of the work in general and is it difficult to master the repair? Is it true that the downside is that many offices do not officially employ, so the day is irregular and there is no vacation.
In general, what is more profitable, repair of computer or telephone equipment?
And how to become a master, are there any courses, or do they study on YouTube, since usually vacancies indicate mandatory work experience?
And the last question. I am at a crossroads, there is a desire to work in it. For the long term, who is better to work as a repairman, system administrator, having studied windows, linux, telephony, or a web programmer?
Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

Here you need to understand what level you need. Many masters can do the most they can do is check swollen conduits, change the screen of a smartphone, and change the glands in the motherboard, and even many do not know how to do regular reballing (or no equipment) - it’s easy to become like that in a couple of months. And for something serious, without a radio technical education (I don’t mean a crust) it will be difficult.

Answer 2

in million cities, except for Moscow and St. Petersburg, they write from 40,000.

They say that apple macbook repair engineers receive up to 200 thousand a month in Novosibirsk from unofficials.
My friend, 40 thousand rubles is a very small salary in the real world. If you take out a mortgage, a wife appears, and you will spend these 40 thousand only on the constant needs of the family, without taking into account entertainment. So, while you are a student and your parents pay for you, sit down and study.
They learn differently. Apple has certification programs, but now they said that they no longer conduct them.
Mandatory work experience - here employers approach individually. If you know how to read diagrams, not a fool, then you can get a job without experience.
And the last question. I am at a crossroads, there is a desire to work in it. For the long term, who is better to work as a repairman, system administrator, having studied windows, linux, telephony, or a web programmer?
And who do you want to be?
arrange the stats as you want
- salary
- trips
- new knowledge
- demand

Answer 3

Whatever is closer to you, go there.
Experience as a repairman can be gained by repairing equipment of friends, cell phone masters hang out on gsmforum + there are paid groups in VK, such as Igoren will help (not advertising!)) and YouTube. Knowledge in electronics is welcome.

Answer 4

Without a lot of experience, a repairman gets a decent salary only on a divorce of clients, such as cleaning a fan, and taking money as for an upgrade to an i7. But in cities with a population of less than a million, rumors spread quickly and the flow of customers will quickly end.
of the listed specialties, the repairman is the least interesting
system administrator - neither this nor that, but you can figure out what's what in the it area and decide what to do next.

Answer 5

I want to ask, who is in the subject, are such high salaries real? What is the complexity of the work in general and is it difficult to master the repair?

You are making the most common mistake:
The fact that someone is paid a lot does not mean at all that any clumsy is paid this way.
Any salary is connected with the supply and demand of potential employees.
And if something is more difficult to master, then, as a rule, fewer people go there, and, consequently, the employer has less choice - since this smaller number of qualified specialists compete with each other.
To that I lead: to pay well - you need to be a specialist.
It takes time to become an expert.
There are, however, exceptions to the industry.
But not for long.
Just think:
If it is very easy to work somewhere for any person from the street and they pay a lot, then how soon will these "from the street" fill and overflow the labor market in this specialization?

Answer 6

from 40000

Lies. 40 thousand is "up to", that is, the ceiling for such work.

Answer 7

It is better to take up Web design, it is always in demand and it is much easier to master, and there are many courses, and the earnings are good. Electronics repair is a very serious occupation, a competent self-employed master can easily do 40k a day, but this requires a very serious amount of knowledge and experience.

Answer 8

It seems to me that if you do this, then only seriously. Then experience will be gained, and there will be regular customers, and money, of course, because it’s not a sin to pay for a quality repair. I know from myself that there are few normal masters - they can be counted on the fingers of the hand)
