Various sites are up with free tutorials and readings about technical subjects. Example: http://www.learnthat.com/

They may not be complete, but a person might be able to start searching and find something to check out at a library.

Also, IIRC, MIT has published a whole raft of its course materials at MIT Opencourseware: http://ocw.mit.edu/index.htm

No registration. And, it’s all FREE.

You get the picture. If you need a job, you might also look to see if there are some free online courses or tutorials you can take AND SUCCEED IN COMPLETING just to prove to yourself that you have the ability and to give you the confidence to keep going.

You can do it. You have to believe you can, but you can pull yourself up by the boot straps.

There was a time I lived in my car. With a supportive family and my own determination, I clawed my way back. Sometimes, I thought the pain of several events were enough to feel numbed down to the tips of my toes. I about went down for the count. And other things happened, too, but I digress. So, for you who is reading this, I repeat the haunting words of my mother, who often said to me, “This, too, shall pass.”

Events change you. But you are here and reading this now because God has a purpose for you. Remember that when Meshak, Shadrack and Abednego walked out of the firey furnace unscathed, the people who opened the doors were knocked dead....but no one could figure out who the fourth man was that was with them there, walking out behind them. No one knew then, even though we know His name.

I humbly call down the showers of blessings, protection, miracles and financial provision of the Almighty God, on the heads and families of those Believing, God-fearing Christians reading this post. I ask for an outpouring of the Holy Spirit to fill the downtrodden with the Breath of Christ and to repentance and renewal of their spirits with His Purpose and Divine Will for their lives. In Jesus’ Name, I claim this Grace for such people, Amen.
