Okay, I'm applying online to work at Best Buy, and it's asking where I would like to work.
But there's three positions that I wanna do. gonk;
So naturally, I'm letting strangers on an Internet forum pick for me.  pseudo;

Here's the descriptions for each.

Geek Squad In-Store Computer/Electronic Technician
==============================================
Assist customers with service/repair issues within the Standard Operating Platform (SOP) of the Precinct.  Provides the initial contact with customers, checks in product, and runs basic tests to determine product needs and service solutions.  Facilitates the complete solution of product sales, upgrades, installations and service in the store.  Is expected to personify and uphold the Geek Squad service standards.


Music, Software & Gaming
==============================================
Replenishes entertainment software area and assists customers in locating software products.


Non-commission Sales
==============================================

With the first and third ones, you'd have to deal with a lot more old and stupid people.
So I picked the middle choice.

If it's worth it to you, go for it.
But my brother worked at Office Depot with a similar job, and hated dealing with idiots.

The only problem with it is dealing with idiots who don't know what they're talking about.

Yeah but if you think so then take the A+ exam.

I think its about 100. for both Hardware and software, I am not sure.

Well, I'll just apply and see what happens. If I don't get accepted for this position, I'll take Games/Music/whatever.
