Dear all, I am currently working in Switzerland for a large IT services company, and the missus and I have decided that its about time to return to England. After more than a year of searching in the North East I still am no closer to finding a job (currently an unqualified financial controller, after years in ground handling management/finance) Any way I would quite like to do something that I'm interested in and one idea is to set up on my own doing tech support for home users/very small businesses. This is because I spend hours every evening f@rting around on computers in my own time so it would be nice if I could earn my living this way.
After that long winded introduction my question is this; do any of you think that this idea is feasible, and what education/training/qualifications would you recommend so that I would be more marketable/useful in this context?
I am pretty good at MS Office particularly Excel, and after working on both my fathers and father in laws pcs I now have a pretty good experience with Windows 98SE
It might just be a pipe dream but I'd like to investigate before condemning myself to a life of spreadsheets for ever.
Cheers for any comments, positive or negative
