I want to get into a field that involves fixing electrical equipment. I have always loved taking apart things like my Xbox/Playstation/cell phone so I could fixing them when they broke and I would like to further this into a career. What type of field should I study in order to pursue this goal? I am a student at the University of Arizona, so if you know of any programs there that would help a lot.
None, depending on how or where you work. If you work for yourself you don't need any degree at all. You need to be an electronics service engineer. You have to be able to do the job. That's more important than having a piece of paper that says you got good grades and showed up or class. (I would argue this is true for most fields) You can get a degree in electronics engineering at many schools. It would be very helpful to find work at a company specializing in service of these things. Nobody repairs cell phones, it just isn't worth doing.
