It can obviously vary by the person (there's a Geek Squad guy up here in Victoria who's *extremely* well-versed on the Mac), but overall the Geniuses are always going to win this one.

First of all, it's not actually easy to become an Apple Genius. Second, they get more/better training. Third, in metropolitan areas (ie the big cities) they definitely get paid more (and along with that comes higher expectations).
