I am a firm believer that you're never too old to learn. I preach that all the time to people and encourage others to take classes in what they're interested in. I used to take classes when I was working, mostly because it was required of the employees to learn new computer programs.
I've been out of the traditional work force for 10 years and feel that I'm lost as far as computer programs and updates. In fact, when I left my previous job at the local community college, we were still using WordPerfect and PlanPerfect. Now with all the changes and transitions to Word and Excel, I am lost. I need to learn the new programs so I can not only keep up to date but begin to look for work again. My husband has been out of work for a year and as much as I love staying home with my son and homeschooling, I feel that I need to get out and bring home some money. I've looked and feel so discouraged with the requirements needed for the jobs I've found.
I decided to take some classes and tomorrow is my first day. I am going to take Excel because that's an important one and will also take Adobe Photoshop Elements. I love to craft and take pictures and this class will help with creating interesting things. I've also included Digital Scrapbooking and Digital Photo Albums. Since I love to craft and create, I thought that if I learned as much as I can about computer graphics programs, I can somehow turn that into a money making business.
I haven't taken a class in quite awhile and must admit that I'm a little nervous and excited to learn. I hope I can keep up:)
