It's far far cheaper and far far easier to invest in young talent and pay for their scholarships so that they can work for you at reasonable wage than it is to find some industry veteran and hire him.
New minds will work for you for a long time, will pick up new knowledge that a veteran cannot and won't demand a huge salary, industry veterans are in short supply and also move between businesses constantly as they offer higher and higher salaries just to acquire said veterans expertise, there's no guarantee that said veteran will even work for you for more than a year or so before moving on to another company, a young yet skilled employee is happy to work for you for many years for much much less than a veteran would and you don't have to worry about age-related health concerns hindering their performance, either.
It's called talent scouting, it's a pretty common practice in all facets of business

Normally they don't come after you in high school. It's pretty common while you're in college. Like I'm looking at a DOD scholarship that comes with a job. But you can only apply for junior and senior year, or grad school. Also what degree is computer technology? Wouldn't it be computer engineering or some other form of engineering. All the experience he has sounds like he built computers for some stuffty local store. On top of all this he just sounds like a liar.

Use Ccleaner and defrag it regularly, a hdd doesn't get any faster than it's speed.
