That's cool...If you can get into The "Security and Forensics". That's fun stuff there. Kinda neat what you can do with Data Recovery.
I'm slowly working on starting a Private Practice home computer repair. I have a hand of clients now and slowly growing.

Yay! I knew that using a computer and the internet for 20 years would one-day net me something. 
Not to brag too much, but I started using both when I was three, my dad (who worked for AT&T Bell Labs at the time) brought home an IBM computer running UNIX (I don't remember if it was Bell Labs UNIX, BSD 4.x or Plan 9), I rocked my 9.6kbps modem hard with the help of usenet and haven't looked back. Didn't start using Windows until I got my 486 in 1991 which ran Win 3.1, I still miss the Program Manager. I dropped out of college when I realized that I could teach my Computer Engineering courses better than my profs and they wouldn't let me take equivalency exams. Got a job doing IC physical design, in layman's terms I put the transistors on the chip, though that is not entirely accurate, my job is hard to explain to non-computer nerds.
Sorry for the derail.
Oddly enough, I actually hate computers, hate working on them, hate fixing them for people (No, I will NOT fix your computer, do it yourself, or better yet, throw it out.), hate working with them too, but that's ok, I have my truck to take my focus off computing.

Anyways...no luck needed. It worked out fine and my truck is working agin.
