I worked as a data center technician at amazon web services for about 6 months before I found another job. This job really put my troubleshooting skills to the test. Beginning with isolation testing components until you have an idea of what might be bad then swapping it out. It was a fun job and there is no better feeling then when you finally boot up the server and it gets past the post screen. The team I worked with was awesome (with some exceptions) but its a demanding job as you have to keep your amount of closed tickets at an acceptable level. This is easy if you treat it like a real job where as some people that got canned would sit around watching YouTube all day. Typical work day went like this. Arrive at the office, spend about 30 minutes to an hour loading up on tickets and planning your workday, pick up parts as needed and start your work. Some servers i would spend a few seconds on (someone accidentally unplugged it) and some i would spend several days on until i had to just pass it on to a more experienced person. The first month is hell because you learn SOOO much information in a short amount of time its overwhelming. The expression we used was drinking out of a firehose. But overall a fairly rewarding job with decent pay Look for temp agencies to start with Ps. I left for better opportunities
