Yes, we should have "levels" of experience. So that a Level 1 job could be
done with anyone that knows how to wield a screwdriver... (things such as
adding RAM, a hard drive, or add-in card.), while a Level 5 should only be
done with someone who's had lots of electronics experience. (Such as fixing
a broken PCB or motherboard, the hard way). We could have tutorials to get
a Level 1 to a Level 5, but it would still be their responsibility.

Actually, I always thought that it was who ever could pay them enough money
to become a "solution provider." Seriously, we should have the Levels as an
internal rating system. I haven't seen such a system, but has one like this
ever been used? (It's better to use a pre-existing system then to develop a
new one, especially if the old one does what you want.)
