Guys i built a PC a few weeks ago and its the first one ive ever built....believe it or not im 14yrs old and i built it with no outside help,ive just been watching builds on youtube for the past like 4 months and ive got the hang of everything,because was a total noob before that,and it was awesome,i want to build one again because it was fun,i dont want a new pc for myself that would be asking too much,i just want to build one because it was fun,so i was wondering if any on you guys build pc's for a living or as a job? (the most challenging thing was cable management for me)

I am 14, and have built/rebuilt 10computers. 

 

It is definitely fun, and will be doing ALOT more building in the future. I just need to uh get a job to afford the parts... xD

Is it bad that my dream setup only costs a few thousand not counting the obutto?

Well I mean once you see one video the main trouble is cables as in plugging in right spots, management, and the PC turning on.

as someone who doing something they like for a living.

 

if you can, avoid it?

 

why? if you not doing your own business, mostlikely you will end up doing same thing but with "Quota" expectation

you are no longer doing it for fun, you doing it to meet your job requirement which is "X" amount, believe me, building 20computer/8hours/day isn't fun, and when you start to hate it? that's also the time you no longer motivate doing something you like in first place.

 

but hey, that's sound like almost every jobs in the world.

Hmmm, those irrelevant ages. 

Hmm... I guess age is pretty irrelevant here. Just used to telling senior citizens what I look to do in my free time, and them being so surprised that I build computers at "my age"

I would have to kinda agree... Doing what you love can be good and bad. Its good because when you love it, you do your best because you actually care about that line of work. But... having a quota hanging over your head is pretty annoying.

Pokemon came out 16 years ago now in the EU..
