Post It would be cool to work as an Arcade Tech
A friend of mine used to be one. Got free tokens and stuff I guess.

But I've been thinking of how few arcades are around now, and looking at some of the big ones and conventions that host them. It would be cool to be an arcade tech and be able to work on the cabinets and learn their ins and outs, and get to play some at other times from being around them. Maybe even as a weekend thing it would be cool, since I doubt I could pay the bills on that kinda thing, unless I was high up or something.

Being an arcade tech to me seems fun, but it probably is not a job that pays well (unless the arcade is popular). If you like playing on arcades, how cool would it be to play on them for free while learning how they work? Seems pretty cool to me.

Yea, it's mostly a kinda job for a high school kid or college kid from what I understand, at least the low level/entry techs. I'm sure there are higher ups though, but maybe that eventually falls on the owner to know how to make stuff work, I don't know.

They are pretty expensive pieces of equipment though, designed for making money, so I wouldn't be surprised if there are related decent paying jobs for it. Maybe in repair centers or something, which considering the low numbers of arcades left, I'd imagine there aren't many repair centers or repair jobs either.

Still, that sometimes mean such people actually get paid more, as their skills are hard to come by.

To be honest, as technology evolves, more and more people are leaning on to developing products for companies to use as a way to make money. So I think that people who work on repairing such products are going to be in high demand soon, as it is not easy to learn how to repair them. So yeah, I think being an arcade tech would seem pretty cool.

I feel bad for arcade machines in cataclysmDDA. I plan elaborate one-man heists and take'em home to disassemble them for electronic parts.
