You like finding a solution. You get a kick out of solving problems. You know that almost everyone uses a computer at some point, but when it comes down to it, most people don't really know how. You know computers inside and out. You offer support, answers and help to keep society running. Without you, we'd be mystified by printing, networks and viruses. You like that.

Computer support specialists are problem solving, question-answering masters of all things computer related. Computer support specialists help people solve computer hardware and software problems. They find answers and sometimes provide training. Their work can be done in person or over the phone.
