Wait until you get the senior with a P2 and 64MB still running Windows 98.

I've got a full-time job here, and I'm just wanting to bring in some extra money on the side to help with some bills and have a bit more "spending money." With the economy in the tank right now, I figure a lot of people are going to want to repair/clean/upgrade what they have rather than buy a new computer.

Lost data and downtime are just as important, and possibly much more expensive. You should also think seriously about forming a legal entity and obtaining professional liability insurance (different from general liability insurance). The degrees to which you take on jobs and customers should probably guide your thinking on this. If you're only looking at doing repair work on 'broken' hardware, then that's something I've never done exclusively and it might be sufficient to have your clients sign a form acknowledging that their widget is non-functional when delivered to your custody. If you're looking at helping businesses on live production systems, then I think you'd be better off knowing your customers really, really well if you're going to fly with no liability protection from insurance or a legal entity of some sort (LLC, Sub-S, whatever.) Just my $.02. From: John Aldrich [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Monday, November 09, 2009 2:18 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: OT: Side work Anyone here do any side work as a PC Tech? I'm looking at doing some side work to bring in a bit of extra money during tight economic times. I'm curious whether you have customers sign any sort of release of liability for the equipment? I'm just trying to keep from losing money on this by getting sued if I take in a piece of hardware and it ends up that it's unrepairable or gets damaged worse in my custody.
