Intellectually, I think even basic e-learning is interesting, but I think I'm a little too ADD to handle the long hours sitting. If I have team mates- I can do it because its fun for me to work with other people, but sitting still AND being alone is torturous for me. I feel guilty that I haven't progressed in my career like you have. I admire how you've moved forward. I'm hoping that I find my way. I guess I'm <i>finding</i> my way- I just hope there is some *there* there that I'm going to eventually get to. I wish I had more ability to sit still.

I totally forgot about this post. I was reading it and wondering "chain on the door"? "Broken heater?" where was I? Oh yeah, Milosz losing me one room away- now I remember. Sweet little dude- he's sitting by me now. :) Thanks, Andrea! I totally forgot about this post. I was reading it and wondering “chain on the door”? “Broken heater?” where was I?

That's totally on my Amazon wish list too. We do like the same things - I loved your other Cathy Moore post elsewhere. Cognitive load is one of my favorite hobby topics - ooh, and schema theory. :) I think I'm more willing to be a corporate drone than you are - partly by temperament and partly b/c of Allison's advice in class about delivering consistently on bread-and-butter e-learning projects to gain credibility and be trusted to segue into what you want to do. But it's not a straight path, for sure - and not a guaranteed one. aaaaah! That’s totally on my Amazon wish list too. We do like the same things – I loved your other Cathy Moore post elsewhere.

One bad weld in a nuclear power plant can cost millions of dollars. Of course if you want to really make money, try underwater welding.

That's the most lucrative gig I know about that doesn't require a college diploma, though it requires a very special sort of mind.

I don't know where people make a 100k a year welding. I don't know anything about welding, so maybe it isn't true. On the other hand, I know in my field that there is a WIDE range of pay depending on the job, so maybe there are 100k a yr welding jobs. hmm... Any welders out there making 100k who want to clue us in? Angela, thanks for the reality check. I don’t know where people make a 100k a year welding.
