Prices.....

Hello, I was wondering how much I could charge to repair computers. I'm 17 years old, but to tell you the truth, I'm pretty good with computers. My uncle taught me. Anyways one of my friends told me he charges $50 an hour. Now if thats true or not I don't know. I'm looking to make money doing what I like. I also have a set up w/ monitor, mouse, keyboard, internet and etc. at my house that I can use to work with. Thanks

every area is different. go to the different computer shops in your area and find out what they charge and go from there.

My school hires the "computer guy" for $50/hour... he sits there on the comp, and doesn't really do much of anything.... Looks like a sweet job. =P

Go for it,
Your never know if you dont
and chargé what the person can afford
and they will allways come back,
[Bread and butter law] Get a good name
And your allway eat,
[Sods law.]
Wacht out people that give you apile of junk
then blame you when it can't be fixed then sue you for it,
to get a new one,
[Murrys law.]
get Insurace.
pay your taxs when due
and make sure what you do is legal
dont borrow till your sure you can afford it
and pay it back [you got the work to do it],
[DADS law.]
IF you get out of your depht,
SHOUT HELP, and nobody think less of you if you do,
and keep studying what your doing and working at It
its a fast moving field to be in,[ keep up to date.]

GOOD LUCK
