That's maybe a better idea than you think.
I used to run a little home business after hours doing basic PC repairs. It was almost 90% spyware/virus removal. I used to spend more time explaining everything than fixing the machines.

Made me a little bit of money but it made a long working day. If I hadn't made the move from support to Infosec I might have gone for it fulltime.



Are you studying right now?
Hi Aspman

Yes I am, taking my Java exam in March, then I will be studying for the teaching certificate and then finally will get my CS Degree. In between all of that I am teaching myself as much as I can about computer security, it's busy but very enjoyable.

I would do the basic PC repairs as I do know quite a bit, and have fixed friends pc's, but at the moment there are quite a few people where I live already doing that. However, I will feel more confident doing that when I have the certificate!
