Do you really need to know networking to be a computer repair technician (or computer technician)?

Im planning on being a Computer Tech and i really want to know.

Technically no but you really should.
Barebones you should know and understand the basic networking concepts found in the CompTIA A+ certification.
As a tech you are only as useful as what you know/can do so the more you learn and retain the better.

I don't work for $XX/hour, I work for $XXX/hour. is your sister good looking?

Well..if you're my "computer guy", and you can't fix a network problem, you'll soon be working for $0/hour.

(and I don't have a sister)
