Anyone have an idea of what the Mac Genius makes a year in salary? There are some openings near me and I want to have an idea of what I might be getting myself into.
Thanks!
Thanks!

I considered it too, until I read this ..

I consider that a waste of time...and could backfire. What if I later on want to just work there part time? They might not consider me because I refused their offer for whatever reason. Don't you think so?belvdr said:Why not apply, and if the salary isn't what you want, reject their offer?
Are you asking me can I train? If so...I have considered it but it is very expensive...sure, the investment in the training is going towards making a living but it is still an expense to put out without a gaurantee of earning that money back. This is why this position that is open has kind of drawn my interest....Apple will pay for training.Danksi said:Can you train as an independant 'Genius' ?
There are a number of Mac users in Canada, but bearly any Apple shops!

I'm with you on that...I'm considering it now. Another draw back is that it is retail...I worked in retail before and it can be a pain dealing with "customers". Kidding...that comes with the territory...even in an Apple store.jdechko said:Shoot... I'd work as a Mac Genius for $20/hr. Im bored here at work anyway, and I dont really care much for my job, and I make less than that. Plus, what do they get, something like a 10-20% discount on Apple stuff. The only downside is that I'd not be able to hang around MR all day.
