I don't think St. Martin really has many evening classes.

If eventually I decided to go for a four year degree and really switch job paths, I suppose I could potentially look for another job, part time, and go to St. Martin's...though I dunno how pricey they are or if they offer anything I'd really like to study.

It may be that a class or two will make me realize I'm OK with what I've been doing. Though, really, right now I'm *not* doing PC support, for the most part. Which is what I really like. On the downside, it does seem like there aren't as many straight PC support positions anymore, and the ones there are are paid maybe one step above fast food workers. I'm not sure that's going to change for the better. Computers are easier to use now and most folks aren't scared of 'em anymore.

Yeah, and Software folks re making things easier to maintain and update. Definitely time to update a few skills and broaden your opportunities a little.

St. Martins is very expensive. Has some prestige, but expensive :~)

I think if you want to take some classes that interest you at SPSCC, it'd tell you whether you really want to go back to school. Heh... there may even be some teachers there I still recognize. And Community Colleges have a big 'back to school' adult population, it's not all kids, it's a mix. SPS does have a good nursing program I think, if that would be interesting to you.

If you really decided you wanted to get a 4 year degree, there's extension campuses for both WSU and UW in Dupont and Tacoma you could look into that would be a lot more affordable than St. Martins... Just depends on the degree programs they're offering at the extensions. I took some classes at Dupont for electives one summer that were actually part of their Law and Justice program. That was fun.... a lot of guys that want to be cops in a Law class.
