Myself I noticed that my customers don't care too much about the
professionalism (not having a single cert/degree myself), as the
personalism. They want the face value. I have seen that whole paying for
support thing, as some people are scared away by my rate of US$6/h for
any computer work. I do notice it's harder doing M$ repair than *nix,
but one thing my customers love is that I sit with them and fix their
problem, not just repair whatever isn't working. I've gone in recently
to fix a printer and ended up teaching my client about FOSS, lulu.com,
defragmenting, and having cleaned up their computer, updated all their
software, etc. So for anyone out there worried that not having a piece
of paper getting in the way, it will for working for companies, but if
you work for individuals it shouldn't, since they enjoy the one on one,
which they don't get on a forum or chat.
