These are jobs that take educated, experienced, people and now they've got nothing. It's sooo sad! So, I say, go for the new 'trick'. AND, the more tricks you have up your sleeve, the more fun you are at a party. Isn't that how the saying goes?! Anyway, I just started working as a travel agent and am taking online classes to learn the booking system and am having a GREAT time learning it all. So, yeah, go for it!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15615430255988669257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2942507983031665849.post-24148293178711729472009-02-12T23:44:00.000+03:002009-02-12T23:44:00.000+03:00You can do it!!!

What I've learned is that living from a point of fear is the worst thing you can do, because it clouds your thinking and openness to all kinds of possibilities. I started out in pre-med in college to business<BR/>to becoming a writer. Enjoy the ride, and don't be afraid. My consolation during these times is that we're not alone as people are stepping up to the plate to help each other out! <BR/>Stay well, Blogstalker! :))petra michelle; Whose role is it anyway?https://www.blogger.com/profile/03474448747236205303noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2942507983031665849.post-50374308903014106902009-02-12T02:14:00.000+03:002009-02-12T02:14:00.000+03:00I will SShoot ur with :) !

But I don't work and don't have any skills other than mom. I only did one year of college so Steve could finish. He is now working on going back and getting his Master's. We have this University here that is perfect. An old dog can definitely learn new tricks. I've been thinking of finding something, but then think that someone needs it more than I do. And I have to wait until Mikele drives so she can get home from school. The thought of returning to school scares me. I don't have the same brain or desire. But I'm certain that I could learn and keep up.Tulsihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07621713199341363416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2942507983031665849.post-42263787025727717822009-02-08T02:00:00.000+03:002009-02-08T02:00:00.000+03:00Absolutely!

There's always something new to learn, and those of us who know what's what are the ones who can prove to be indespensible! BTW...don't forget Sx3 tomorrow. It has a Texas-sized theme.

There is a lot at stake with 6 little mouths to feed as well as my own and husbands. All I can think is that if my husband and I, as parents, can increase our skills we'll be doing a huge favor for our children should we get the termination papers. We may not make as much $ but at least it would be *something* and we're looking at really secure fields so job stability will be there as well.<BR/><BR/>So yep, an old dog CAN learn new tricks. Start small, get something quick and easy so you are prepared and then as time permits keep gaining more education and skills. One thing I know for sure: preparation lessens fear.Rhondahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15780571361141805413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2942507983031665849.post-66503086218861844622009-02-07T19:32:00.000+03:002009-02-07T19:32:00.000+03:00old dogs CAN learn new tricks. there was an episo...old dogs CAN learn new tricks. there was an episode of mythbusters where they proved it--they trained a really old dog and it did GREAT. in my opinion, if an actual dog is capable of learning new tricks in its old age, of course we can as human beings with our superior brain power. the key lies in our desire to do so.cornnut32https://www.blogger.com/profile/08537873482898226294noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2942507983031665849.post-56980197356545456112009-02-07T18:19:00.000+03:002009-02-07T18:19:00.000+03:00Your always learning.
