I turned my hobby into my first job. I've always loved helping people fix problems with their computers. So, I opened the Yellow Pages, called all the computer laboratories in my area, and received about 15 rejections and 1 maybe, which became my first job.I'm extremely fortunate that the owner of PC Doctor LTD hired a 16-year-old boy to be his youngest-ever technician. I worked there until I joined the army, taking care of Mac computers and staying up to date with the latest hardware.That was my first lesson on the value of perseverance.
