I went to business school as a young widow with a infant child until I lost my babysitter. I worked 17 years doing the accounting for a business. Had a midlife job switch. I am self-taught on computers. Now I oversee the computer network at a shop, manage 8 employees, keep the copiers running, and do graphic design.
Considering how my adult life started...I am doing fine. I have a lot of customers that are professors and college students. I might not have a lot of book smarts...but I have common sense and am a hard worker. I also willing to learn something new to keep up with progress.
