Just getting started, have questions

[IrishJohn]

I understand what you mean. As I am trying to get back to work (have been working with my wife for about 15 years in her business), I find that it is almost impossible unless one has at least an Associates. I read and listen to books a lot, and I will be driving a lot so I intend to listen to podcasts of a lot of lectures. Otherwise, I will just have to make time. But it will be fun.

Funny you should mention that, after being unemployed for a long time and unable to find anything else (my industry was hit VERY hard in the recession) I was forced to turn to trucking to tide me over. This isn't exactly what I thought I'd be doing at this point in my life, but it is what it is. I'm trying to finish the BSBA to get back into my former profession. Working on it whilst on the road is weird but it can be done. Not to get too political but if anyone asks me, "Are you better off now than you were 4 years ago?", my answer is unequivocably, "No, worse off".

The one bright spot in all of this are the many good audiobooks, lectures and podcasts I've been able to listen to while driving. iTunes has a treasure trove of good history stuff!
