speaking of this, I've been thinking of getting a summer job, you guys think I should try and get a job at geek squad?

I would love a job over the summer where I have to do little or nothing and have the ability to hit on single girls while I'm supposed to be doing something meaningless.

PM me if you have ideas.

This is my first job and to hear someone say something like that makes me wonder what todays society is turning into. College or not.
I guess you are a fool. Stay at best buy. I guess your pc is more expensive than mine because I don't feel the need to upgrade? Does that really have anything at all to do with best buy or their business practices?

This doesn't change the fact that you are still an un-trained "blue-shirt" kid that is just another part of a large corporation that continues to rip people off.

You want to talk about where society is heading? Do some research. It's not the people that are free to post their opinions that you should be worried about. It's your employer and it's affiliations.

Enjoy your community college and your best buy career.

I'll give you inconsistent training, I'll give you incompetent's, but malicious it is not. Its someone not being trained on how to properly diagnose something, and being told also to limit the amount of free work preformed to 5 minuets.

They are in the wrong ultimately because they should have the humility to recognize they may need a second opinion from someone else, who may be able to train them and get the right diagnosis.

Why is everyone a conspiracy theorist?

You guys are missing the point. These guys aren't stupid, they know what they're doing. They know how to diagnose a problem, and a second opinion is the easy part. They're going to tell you your mobo is fried as opposed to reseating your ram because they're gonna go after what will make them more money. Best Buy doesn't work off commision, but if you don't meet your quota, you're out've there.

On a more OT note, I disagree with all of you Geek Squad bashers. Just because there are a few noobs that work Geek Squad doesn't mean that they're all morons.
For every person that made a derogatory comment regard BB employees, there are TWO BB employees that know more than you.
I had a good friend in high school that worked in BB car audio, and he was in my AP Calculus class.......he studied computer science in college......so not everyone there are ignorant


Ignorance has no bearing on smartness. Someone could have the entire A+ book memorized, down to every typo, yet be so ignorant they play chicken with a freight train and loose.
