It really boils down to cheap components , factory produced overseas , and brand recognition . There are a lot more big name artists playing OCD ' s instead of Ultimate Drives . <| sep |> more like team beta maxes <| sep |> At least the bride is hot ! <| sep |> I worked for Geek Squad for 11 years . Originally a black polo tech , I was there for the national Geek Squad rollout . I worked as a Precinct Senior pre DCI , Double Agent and Special agent . Badge # 2571 I decided to move from Utah to Texas and there were no opportunities to transfer with Geek Squad . I had no degrees and no tech experience beyond Geek Squad . I was able to find a job as a Tier I Customer Support Tech with a startup in Austin . Within 2 months I was promoted to Tier II . Five months after that I was promoted to Tier III . 2 years later I am still with the same company as a Sales Engineer . I received some odd looks when people ask what my education background is . I own it . Geek Squad gave me so many opportunities to learn and grow . I was surrounded by great people that challenged me everyday . It ' s not the most prestigious tech job in the world but I truly believe there are few jobs that are as challenging . Being able to show up onsite , by yourself with a very limited information of what you might actually run in to is challenging . It requires you to truly tap into your skills and resources to get the job done . It is a great way to learn how to work through challenges and I know it is a large part of why I have been so successful where I am now . Use the skills you have developed and build on them . You are the only thing hat can hold yourself back . You may run into more technically intricate environments in your future endeavors but I guarantee the day to day challenges you are faced with will be easy compared to what you ' ve already worked through .
