On one hand, I hear Geek Squad people get paid a buttload of money...but...gonk;
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 I were you, I would go with the first one because of my love for computers. jsr;

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.
