The College degree.
My friends I went to school and studied electrical engineering specialized in Telecom. This few years ago. My impression was that I was fairly knowledgeable of this business of computing. In a way this attitude tends to push people away from learning from other people with far more experience.
I joined this community with the comportment of this know it all guy, after all the technical writing classes, programming and electrical circuitry training but deep down there was a fundamental base missing. And this base is beginning to climb to the surface for me to see.
This business of online marketing is a combination of sub-knowledge just like good programs are a set of subroutines. One needs to know, or better possess the tools to put all the elements together in order to arrive at a positive product.
Well, I know now that, not only, I am a blue in this business but I am a deep blue. Here at Wealthy Affiliates I have read and listened to people explain and demonstrate Technics that I would have grown old man and never come across with. I have paid $3000 for one class and never learned 1% of I have learned here in 2 months.
To anyone who is struggling like myself to feel happy about making some money right now I will urge you to join me in a more fundamental and intangible method. We will learn all the material, media or written, we can find in the collections. We will master them and we will implement excellent projects to land the positions we seek among the best.
