Does being a computer repair technician involve any extremely high-level math or physics? I was considering taking classes at a technical college and train for this career. I have a learning disability in mathematics, I want a career which is stable, pays well, but doesn't involve any math or physics.

I already have a good knowledge of computers and computer systems. More so than most people.

I am NOT becoming a programmer, computer scientist, or an electronic engineer.

Working on PC level repairs does not require a high level of maths or physics, as the equiment is modular, and based on a common architecture (X86) which uses plug and play / industry standard components.

I suggest you look at the ICDL, and A+ Certification courses as a start.

Keep a healthy eye on the forums up the top, look at building an entry level PC yourself, with some help from a friend, and seek advice and support from the forums as you progress.

Good luck with your choice of profession.

PC Technician doesn't but if you ever get into networking you'll need a little bit of math. For calculating subnets and IPs and the like.
