A service is the non-material equivalent of a good. Service provision has been defined as an economic activity that does not result in ownership and is claimed to be a process that creates benefits by facilitating either a change in customers, a change in their physical possessions, or a change in their intangible assets.

By composing and orchestrating the appropriate level of resources, skill, ingenuity,and experience for effecting specific benefits for service consumers, service providers participate in an economy without the restrictions of carrying stock (inventory) or the need to concern themselves with bulky raw materials. On the other hand, their investment in expertise does require consistent service marketing and upgrading in the face of competition which has equally few physical restrictions.

Providers of services make up the Tertiary sector of the economy.

A. Go take the A+ test. If you pass, you'll have a certificate that shows you know something about computers. If you don't pass, you'll have some idea of what you need to learn before you can think about an IT job.

A. Taxes suppress production. The higher the tax, the less stuff which is produced. The lower the tax, the higher the production. But somewhere you have to balance the needs of the State verses the needs of the Economy.
