Returning to Work, looking for some direction.

Hey Guys. :)
I hope this is okay to ask here.

Gotta few questions and hoping you all might be able to give me some insight. Bear with the possible to much info but I need some serious input here.
I am single deaf mom of five and have been out of work for ten year due to a special needs child that is now becoming stable, and a recent suicide of my partner has got me looking that maybe it is time to go back to work force.
I enjoy the tech side of things, so thought maybe I could look into a tech position at a local sprint store that I have been able to make some connections with.

I have a few months before I can do this, so what should I be studying at this point? I have been reading and reading this board as well as xda and a couple of others but not really getting the feeling that I am learning somethings that are of value, other than the tweaking and graphics. (I want more). Could I ask those of you that are working in the field what should I be directing my attention to?
I really do appreciate the input to this and as always you guys have already taught me so much - thank YOU.

ummmmmmm your best bet would be everything you can get your hands on including google..... there are many different forums out there and some that have to deal with the repair of the phone.......
