So my job isn't getting any better. The market for computer technicians is weak, and its going to stay that way as more companies figure out that you can pay a kid fresh out of school $12/hr and train them rather than paying someone experienced what they are actually worth. So these facts got me thinking... Maybe I should change up what I do.
I've seen a lot of ads lately looking for people who know PHP or CSS or even HTML. I know none of this. But I'm willing to learn. So lets say I want to run to Barnes and Noble and buy some books and study my @$$ off. Where do I begin? Do you need a foundation in one thing to learn the others. I would guess knowing HTML is required but I don't know. It's been a while since I last had to do any programming but I know I can pick it back up. I just want to know where to begin.
I don't know, maybe I'm just so desperate to get out of this job that I'm pursuing a pipe dream. Thoughts?
