    like i said . im still really keen on the Advertising / Marketing arena but i guess it pays to have a backup..
    Sarge what I would do if you are interested in going into Advertising/Marketing etc and prepared to spend the x years studying is try going to the classes for a few days and if you can handle/like the course enough, carry on through.

    With going for IT stuff - I actually think teaching yourself is the way to go. A lot of the courses seem like a total waist of time - you come out knowing nothing and feeling light in the pocket. If you want some qualificatons it would seem the microsoft courses are quite popular (Self study) and quite good. Otherwise I would suggest buy/borrow some books/look at internet stuff and teach yourself.
    Life is difficult because it is non-linear.

    Good job Sarge!
    I think it would be very helpful if you'd find a way to take some classes in IS, especially content management. Today it is all the rage.
    "People are stupid ... almost anyone will believe almost anything. Because people are stupid, they will believe a lie because they want to believe it's true, or because they are afraid it might be true. People's heads are full of knowledge, facts, and beliefs, and most of it is false, yet they think it all true ... they can only rarely tell the difference between a lie and the truth, and yet they are confident they can, and so all are easier to fool." -- Wizard's First Rule
