IIRC nobody offered a “degree” in that.
There were training courses, but not degrees.
Certifications were offered. Yep.
I was just watching an old VHS recording where someone was offering an associates in TV/VCR Repair. Maybe it was a certificate tho
That’s likely a technical certificate through a community/junior college, yeah. I can’t imagine anyone offering an associates specifically in TV/VCR repair, and if they did, it was one college’s hairbrained idea that held little weight outside of their immediate market.
Was it Sally Struthers?
Oh my god it was
I know a couple of guys who run a VCR repair shop in Wisconsin. They mostly just sit around and talk about movies instead of repairing VCR players. In fact, I don’t think they’ve repaired a VCR player since the 80s. Not sure how they’re still in business.
Is this like the premise for a movie?
Not to spoil the joke, but it’s about redlettermedia on YouTube. I’d rather give them more traffic than just chuckle about an inside joke.
Oh I’m completely unaware. I’ll go check them out.
Do they have a lot of customers who pop in but don’t stay long?
Mostly just some rich asshole who keeps asking if his VCR player is fixed yet.
I have zero training in that stuff, but I’m occasionally called upon to do it for my library’s digitization service. It’s kinda fun! Anyway, if you DO have some kinda certification in that, your local public library needs you.
95% of VCR repair is changing belts and cleaning heads/pinch rollers. I should hit up my local library. Those are the causes I like donating my time to.
Most of those skills are somewhat transferable to other consumer electronics and even computer hardware to some extent. Hopefully they did alright.
I’m pretty sure they’re probably dead now
