*click**click* “All fixed boss.” Working as a computer systems analyst is working on computers and figuring out what is making it not work properly. I’ve grown up using computers all my life in school at home and my dad has showed me how to fix certain problems. I enjoy working with computers and want to learn more ways to fix problems with computers.

Related Occupation

One thing I'm looking forward to the most in this career is being able to know how to fix computers and feel accomplished fixing some ones computer. Learning how to fix a computer will help me save money at home because I wont have to call some one to come over and pay them to fix it when I can fix it my self. The one thing I will dislike the most about this job is if some one that I'm fixing their computer has a messy area or isn’t appreciative about me fixing their computer.
