RE: Three Wishes - A Challenge

Wishes...

Just three? I like your wishes indeed; education is so important...

I am going to quote you here
"I need to focus on the education but where do I find that? I am 52 years old and I do not want to spend four to six years going to college. I do not have the time or money for this. I have found YouTube and many online educational websites that are free and the knowledge they have is amazing; places like Udemy and Great Courses. I have already learned so much and am able to do the basics well, but my wish is to get that all working so the travel business can take off and enable us to be one the road before it is too late."

That sounds like many of us...I know it rings true for me. After losing a job, divorce, getting kicked out of Online College... my dreams, or rather "wishes" to be the next Bill Gates kind of fell through... (insert canned laughter). Anyway...great post, and I see I have been tagged...

So...

Better get to work!

RenYou can still be the next Bill Gates. You know he is more than a computer guy, right? He and his wife do so much to help the community. They literally saved my @lightfootedbird's life when she was in Portland. Because of that they are both saints in my eyes.

Oh yes...
I was working towards my B.S. in IT. Database Administrator, with focus in data security and storage (sounds fancy right?)...

I must admit, I was quite intimidated to found out students half my age, were "already doing" what I was going to school for...

Thank heavens I got my 90k+ student loan forgiven. But...good memories regardless :)
