New to newsgroups
 

Hi, am new to newsgroups and have just discovered them as chapter 4 in 70
272 training manual. Its amazed me to see how its taken on board by you
guys - I am doing MSCA course through Advent Training company - its self
paced distance learning with support in that each module has a two day
workshop in Brum - each time they tell us to strike up friendships with our
fellow students but no-one ever seems eager to open up. Its great to see
huge lists of likeminded people and i think logging into the newsgroup will
become a regular event from now on.
Good luck with your studies all you out there and no doubt be picking your
brains very soon.

Hi Robyn

I haven't been working in IT that long - about 18 months. I worked as a
legal secretary for over 20 years, but decided I fancied a career change to
IT. I am currently working as a DST for a fantastic law firm in Solihull and
am loving every minute of it!

Here's wishing you all the best in your new career!

I taught for a Computer Learning Company for 3 years, so I have heard
the "career changer" stories. I have taught everyone from a plumber, to
secretary, to even a stripper -- that was a fun class :-) So I know the
mindset of you guys. I have seen the good and the bad of learning a
whole different trade after spending half your professional life doing
something else. Good luck to both of you, and those who are in similar
situations.

If you need any advice or help, just let me know.
