Tech Specialist Job Training

Description


As a tech specialist, your abilities would rely heavily on your intelligence and aim. You’d learn to work with all kinds of technologies, perhaps even make your own robotic defense turrets! Your intellect would be your greatest weapon, though you wouldn’t shy away from tweaking your own high-tech ranged weaponry. The life of a tech specialist is one of profit through smart decisions and superior technology.
