Hey, I'm a kid just got into highschool, I've seen other posts from earlier years on job requirements for computer jobs and here specifically. Well I'm at the stage where I'm constantly asking myself what am I going to do with my life. I knew it was seething to do with technology. Either games or computers and realizing how bad of a drawer I am, I chose computers. I don't want to get into software. Me being a kid and always wanting answers since no specifics mentioned in other posts. How can one get a job here. I know you must have passion. Also, in a post I read earlier one of the employees saying that you won't make as much as a person would make if they had a bachelor's degree, for me college has never been a question, I AM going, so how much would one make building computers here at digital storm. Also what college classes should one take for this type or similar job. Thanks feedback appreciated and an apology for the extreme longest of this post.

That's a great question. Unless you're doing a high level job, you won't be making a ton of money. That's where you would want to be a computer science major and go into software engineering or even hardware engineering.

A business like Digital Storm is more of building computers, installing Windows/drivers, quality checks, customer service via phones, etc... Those are areas that don't really require a 4 year college education compared to a computer science major, they are skills that simply need a passion for computers and the skills/know-how.

Basically, you don't need a bachelor's degree (four year college) to build computers. If you don't like software, I encourage you look into the hardware level of things. Here is a great resource for that:

Another thought, and kind of the direction I took many moons ago, was to get your degree, or a tech school's electronic experience and look into engineering, design or field service with the phone company, cable companies or high end duplucators in print shop environments with leading copy companies.  In-house is the design and testing and the service end of it has it all.... mechanical, electronics, troubleshooting, software, etc.
Good Luck. Big%20Smile
