response: There are institutions that give certificates and degrees to for new ones.
original_response: Well maybe you should go into it as a profession. There are lots of institutions that offer certificate and degree programs.
history: I am knowledgeable in IT so my friends always ask me to fix their computer. Are you a computer technician, someone who repairs and maintains computers? I do not do it for a living but I apparently do it for all of my friends!
knowledge: Because of the relatively brief existence of the profession, institutions offer certificate and degree programs designed to prepare new technicians, but computer repairs are frequently performed by experienced and certified technicians who have little formal training in the field like private sectors   A repair technician might work in a corporate information technology department, a central service center, or a retail computer sales environment.
