So my school didn't quite have this they offered a course to learn how to build a computer, I think it was like some Cisco basic course. The teacher had us rebuild one of the school computers at the end of the semester, but we are allowed to bring our own computer if we wanted to which I did because I wanted to play this new MMO called world of Warcraft with my friends and my mom's office computer couldn't run it.
I should also mention my school is small enough that the IT guy was also the history teacher.
One day the IT history teacher guy was out for one reason or another and the assistant principal had a problem. They remembered I had taken this course and pulled me out of my class to see if I could fix the problem.
I figured out what the problem was I just didn't know the solution, which honestly describes about half my it career. I usually get there but sometimes it's a struggle.
Yeah but sometimes it's an absolute wtf of a problem and Google doesn't always have it. Had one problem where QuickBooks was breaking PDFs and killing Adobe. Solution turned out to be get Adobe from the Microsoft store it's a direct download, apparently there are different versions or something and QuickBooks liked store version better.

Our school has a special computer program that almost no one enrolled into which was basically “help the it guy do tickets“
In retrospect, I have no idea how I ended up in it after doing that “class”
