Shit man I meant to get into that on the coding side. I had every intention and forgot about it until you just mentioned it.

Seriously considering going back to school. Always wanted to get back into programming. There's an Enterprise Web /Mobile App development course at the local college. You come out with a bunch of certifications like Microsoft Specialist: C#, JavaScript, Web Applications ...

Ive been mulling over the school thing in my head too. After putting wife #1 through school and never being able to during wife #2 because I had to take care of everything including her for 6 years...I'm siting here unhappy where I am at professionally with my life and would like to begin to do something about it.
It feels weird at 36 to be having the whole "going to school" discussion. I know it's never to late, but...I dunno....I guess I'm more angry at myself than anything that it took this long for me to make myself a priority. Embarrassing really.

What do you do? PM me if you don't want to post it. If you're minorly technical you can look at an internship. The company I work for has this non-traditional-student internship program through local community colleges, but that involves normal working hours and shit. Though the pay rate isn't bad and you're about 80% guaranteed a job if you don't fuck up. I've managed to hire 4 of my interns and the pushed out 1 terrible one.

Speaking of school shit, I want to start collecting a few additional useful certifications to eventually have other options in my career path. Basically every position I look at in my realm of interest requires PMP and/or more often Six Sigma (usually lean rather than motoriginal flavor).
I can't get a PMP right now due to project management requirements not quite at where they need to be. However, I do want to get lean green. Has anyone done this online and/or any recommendations? I don't trust these "$300 test today" sites but I'm rather uninterested in paying 3 grand as well.

I'm 37 and finishing my MS. I'm not sure what field you're in, but I'm not sure I would recommend it. I'm finishing because of sunken cost fallacy, and that whole "zomg i'm first in my family to do this" thing. But I look around at what some people in my industry are doing and I want to learn and do that, and I simply do not have the time because I have to balance this school stuff. In May that all changes, but I feel like I'm behind the curve sometimes. And most of that is just imposter syndrome, it isn't real. But it still feels real.
School, at our age, is really going to be learning a few things you're interested in and then doing a ton of busywork that you couldn't give a fuck about and probably won't benefit you. Bottom line. If the degree won't really help you in your industry, I mean give tangible benefits beyond "hey I have a piece of paper", then I would advise you to concentrate elsewhere.
You know, our kids probably won't even go to college, at least not like we do today. The internet is changing learning and changing what education means.

I've been in sales for most of my life, in some shape or form. At this point, I hate it. I'm great at it...but I hate it. With a passion, to the point where I literally struggle with getting going each day because of how I feel. Now I get that many don't like their jobs but this is a job I worked out of necessity for years because it's what I was good at and what I needed to do so support a family on a single income.
I'm at a stage in my life where I'm tired of being unhappy, more so after my last marriage and I want to start doing things for me. I wan to be responsible about it to, but I want to do something that furthers me into a field where I can at least look at myself in the mirror and know I'm doing something that I wanted to do, and was not forced to do.
I'm not sure if any of that makes sense, it does in my head. Maybe I'm crazy, I dunno.

What do you like to do? Do you have a "dream job" that you would do if you could go back?
Mine would be cryptography. Those were my favorite classes in school. I did really well and I loved the math. If I could go back and be 18 again, 100% that is what I would do. I like what I do now, though.
