Hi Harold, I came upon your site about a month ago while doing a search on training development officer. I live near CFB Borden. I was initially taken in by the image of PEI landscape and barn, as I've visted PEI a handful of times (today's Monet is what's finally got me to comment). I left a Web development job to make a shift into training, thinking I'd get to the higher level issues and have more opportunities in education. Alas, I'm in the public school Board training teachers on computers. I'm 2 years in and it's become apparant you don't get anywhere without a teaching certificate or you're some relation. As I'm at the stage of starting a family and live in the sticks, I'm trying to see how to get to staying home as a consultant when they're young. My husband is a builder, so I've felt the strain of cash flow. I've enjoyed clicking on a topic based on where my focus is that day and going through your past posts. Thanks for bringing us along your journey.
