Visited a phone repair shop today and it triggered something in me... but I'm completely lost. Need advice..

Hey everyone,, im not really sure if i can post this here but i really need some advice..

I’m 20, and honestly, I’ve been feeling pretty lost lately. No degree, no college experience, never worked in my life... just trying to figure out my next move.

Today, I took my younger sibling's phone to a local repair shop in my neighborhood.. While the guy was working on it, I was fascinated. i kept asking him a ton of questions (probably way too many, because i think I low key annoyed him lol.)) When i got home i started googling stuff about electronics and phone repair, but everything i found online looks like straight gibberish to me. It feels overwhelming since i don't have a tech background. but at the same time, it sparked something in me. i really want to learn, but i have no idea if this field is actually right for me or how to even start.

Do I need to go back to school and get a 4-year degree for this, or can I learn it through specific courses and self-study?

Does this industry even have a future, or is it dying out with how complex newer phones are getting?!

would love to hear from anyone in the industry or anyone who started from scratch. Thanks!

▲ 5 r/CMA

Torn between Gleim, UWorld, and Hock for CMA. Need advice

hello everyone,,, i need help choosing a CMA review provider. i graduated 5 years ago but have been working in a non-accounting field, so my knowledge is pretty rusty.

im kinda torn between Gleim, UWorld, and Hock.. for context im someone who loves deep dives. i prefer thoroughly understanding the concepts and the "why" behind the numbers rather than just memorizing things. i also heavily prefer reading textbooks over watching video lectures.

Lately,, i have been leaning towards Hock, but i haven't seen many recent reviews about them online.

I’m really anxious about picking the wrong provider and failing the exam because of it.

i need advice. thank you.
