Free Education from universities and such...
I pulled this comment off of a comment that I made to a friend on my livejournal (same username, In fact I use the same username everywhere I can.)
I figured I would share it with you fine folks.
Here goes nothin'.
What is stopping you from educating yourself? You know there are SO many courses online now for FREE. I use iTunesU to download hundreds of podcasts and educational items off the internet that are freely given by universities. http://www.apple.com/education/mobile-learning/
I could go on and on and on and on. The great thing about this is that you can do it from your home. You can stop. Start. Rewind. Replay. Skip and attempt to fast forward. You can do this at your leisure. I personally have my iPod loaded up with hundreds of courses. I pick one focus on the whole course.
YOU just need to dedicate the time. There is nothing holding you back from this. It can be done. I spend the time to listen to 2 whole lecture series
UNSW Comp1917, Harvard College's Computer Science 50, Intro to computer science and there was another video set from MIT that lost me quite a bit.
You don't need to spend thousands of dollars at a university to become educated when we have the technology to do it for free.
Get yourself an outline. Focus, plan and succeed. You can do it.
Did you forget.. I mentioned FREE. And I'm not talking bullshit classes either. Harvard, MIT, Berkley, UW, Should I write the whole list of universities out? Yale? Stanford? .. You can not tell me that a class from MIT that is 3 years old has less value because it is 3 years old. It is freaking M..I ..T. Hello!
