Preserved Topic: New career starting soon

Well, I put this in my blog today so I thought I might as well post it in here too.

As of June 5th my title in life is going to change a little bit. I took a position with a computer training company called New Horizons. They specialize in one day classes for loads of software apps. They offer anything from basic Windows up to Microsoft, Oracle, and Cisco certifications as well as others.

I'll be starting with the basics - IE, Windoze, and MS Office- but after I have been there for a while and have some experience I'll be able to move into fun stuff like HTML, Dreamweaver, and PHOTOSHOP! YES!

I'm pretty excited about it, but a bit sad at the same time. I posted a very long entry on my site about it so take a look there if you want to know more.

Well, good luck, krets. Hope things work out in this new direction you're going.

I'm sure you'll have plenty of funny stories from teaching. I know I do, and I just to tech support/troubleshooting. You have no idea what some people do to their computer or expect from their computer.

One time, I helped out a guy who had never even touched a computer. I had to teach him how to use a keyboard and everything. It took a while, but the sense of fulfillment is definitely worth it.

Good luck again, and hope the baby's doing well

Krets.. congrats man... you will like it. I went to my MCSE training classes to New Horizons. They are the biggest ( I think) training provider in US. My work has a huge contract with them. They provide training for our employees and stuff like that. Pretty good institution.

I actually will go for Win2K training soon... guess where... heheheh

Good luck man.

Way to go Krets!

I hope it turns out to be everything you want.

~the sigless sig~

Krets glad to see you moving out of teaching.....you had some interesting post on how you felt about your classes............didnt seem like ya had your heart in it..........

I painted my first motorcycle at age 14 on a Honda 305 Dream and havnt stopped,......i had a Mexican airbrush and a lot of ideas......... so i never had to make a career change ..............:-).so...good luck on your new direction. .

Good luck, Krets.

Reading your blog I would have to say that I agree with you 100% about parents. It's a shame that you won't really be teaching kids anymore.

It's your God, they're your rules, YOU go to Hell.

Yep... congrats Krets.
Taking a step to make your future evolve into something better than it was
is not all that easy to do....

I applaud your efforts.

Good luck Krets, I can imagine how excited you are.

I can imagine how excited he is too! .... *grabs the mop and bucket*

may the wind be favourable for you on your new journey matey!

Right on kets. More power to ya.




If you try to fail and succeed, which have you done ?

Congratulations Krets.. and good fortune follow you on your new path..
as one of my teachers taught me, each grade level has its own challenges. i think your experience in here will translate well into the group you will now be teaching

All the best in your new direction, should be stimulating and bring about some surprises (good ones ) and various eye openers!
Nothing like an about-face to shake us loose and stimulate our point of vue on the world (which tend to get us bogged down when we've been doing the same thing for too long, of course that's only my interpretation and speculation on what may have happened )

Break a leg, Kretz!

I wish you the very best in your new venture. You touched many childrens lives ..... so many were ones that didn't get the attention or love that you gave That is such a passion of mine. To touch lives of children in abused, from neglected homes and products of divorce. A part of you lives on there......

You will carry that to your new job and help others....doing something that is rewarding for you in a field that is a passion you enjoy !


Best of luck and stuff.......


"Don't be sad it's over. Smile because it happened"

Good luck! I am sure you will do well at your new job
