Karl! How are you gonna rub your success in Dave's face if this book makes you a ton of cash?

Ex CIA Senior here... Always trained my people to be honest and do the right thing. I agree, the prices are high but as long as you managed people's expectations and had the customers best interests in mind you should be able to sleep fine.

The Geek Squad was a great learning opportunity and I am now a successful Contractor doing IT work for a major government agency. A lot of my fellow agents also made the transition to the same work site and we all look back fondly on our time in the Precinct.

It's sad that the culture in your store was built around taking advantage of the customers and loopholes in store policy. You missed out on gaining valuable customer service, communication, and troubleshooting skills that will be really helpful in the long run.

Yea, it definitely got stressful but I've come to realize that most rewarding careers carry some level of stress.

My Geek Squad experience was invaluable in my current job. You'll find out that two of your most important skills you now have is troubleshooting and communication. Anyone can read a book and get a certification, but it's a much rarer skill to be able to systematically find the cause of a problem and then communicate the issue to someone not as technical.
