Patrick R. Turned His New Found Hobby Into A Career

Patrick’s ed2go Story:

I am retired and have been told, “You need a hobby!”  I was, for a long time, an electronic service technician and an electronic specialist in the U.S. Navy. I’m not intimidated by the complex and challenging.

For a long time, I have wanted to learn how to create and maintain webpages and have purchased several books in attempts to learn independently at home. But, my success has been limited. I have also come across free online tutorials that I found very elemental and limited in their helpfulness, although I did learn some basics. Other schools that I have found online have been very helpful, but do not offer the structured learning format that I prefer and do best at.

Then I found ed2go. I found all of ed2go’s Website Design courses and that’s where my heart took me. I enrolled in the first course, Designing Effective Websites, right away and am nearly finished. I can hardly wait to start a new course!

Ed2go has been a dream come true for me. I found the hobby I needed. Along with creating and maintaining my own website, I am now offering my creative services to others for a fee. This is my passion, my new hobby, and it doesn’t hurt to make a few dollars along the way!

Like another wiser person once said to me, “Find and do what you love and you will never work a day in your life.” I love what I’m doing and I don’t expect to work another day of my life.

Thank you, ed2go, for helping make my dream come true!
