    I'm thinking of applying for a Job Bridge internship at a computer repair shop... is this a good career to get into? Or will I just be fiddling with laptops and iPhones till the day I die.

    It's probably a good way to earn some cash in the Evenings. Not sure i'd like it as a full-time job

    Its a good place to get a general , basic knowledge in IT.
    Dont spend your life at it though. Just stay till you get good at it then move into support / admin type stuff.

    I agree with this. It's a stepping stone, unless you want to eventually open your own computer repair business.

    Its a good starting point but all depends what path you want to follow into IT. Getting industry experience in IT is imperative if you want to go down that road.
