I can't get by this guy's prose. Something just seems off about it. Maybe I shouldn't be cruising HN this... late. It always seems like anyone qualified enough

I can't get by this guy's prose. Something just seems off about it. Maybe I shouldn't be cruising HN this... late. It always seems like anyone qualified enough to fix a computer could make way more per hour doing programming or IT work. Computer repair seems like a great idea but I don't think it's efficient right now.

perhaps he could make more money, but maybe he enjoys the freedom and control of running this business more than programming/IT

Possibly, but someone qualified enough to be a good programmer could probably also make way more in a financial or medical field. Having the ability doesn't necessarily correlate to having an interest. Many smart people may choose to repair computers because of the interaction with a variety of people daily rather than stuck in a cubicle somewhere. Hell, I could make more money as a dentist, but I don't find the idea of poking around in people's mouths every day to be very appealing.
