About Skc
Follow Me
I am 64yrs old and nearing the end of my lifelong career as a Clinical Technologist, specialising in Cardiovascular Perfusion. (This mainly involves the operation of Heart Lung machines and related equipment, during Open Heart Surgery.)
For my eventual retirement I am looking for activities that will offer "intellectual exercise" and hopefully bring in some income as well. Exactly what I want to get into is still undecided, but I am leaning towards blogging, but not sure exactly what subject.
My interests include Spirituality, Psychology, Philosophy, Computers, Science, History, Books, Movies and Hobbies such as Wargames and Flight Simulation.
I look forward to interacting with, and learning from, all the participants on this site and getting my brain up to speed again with this rapidly changing computer world. Although I've been into computers since the old Spectrum 48k days, the speed of change seems inversely proportional to the slowing of my aging brain! Perhaps this site will help reverse that!

By the way, I looked at your site and left a message for you. Very impressed by it - is it just an information site, or are you going to use it for affiliate marketing? Also, why don't you upload it here - I had to go down through the comments to find it after seeing it mentioned...?
I have very similar outlooks and interests to you, so good to meet you here!

It's currently an information site, and so far has been an intellectual excercise for me. (Sort of like writing a dynamic book I guess) However I am definitely going to try use it for marketing too, especially to supplement my (eventual), retirement income and cover web costs. In fact I stuck in an Amazon ad a week back. (Emotional Issues -> Depression -> Cognitive Therapy->/book review).
Still very much work in progress. Time is currently a major issue and I've hardly looked at it for a while. Maybe I should upload it here. Just felt it needed more work first.
Glad you've made contact and have similar interests. We must keep in touch on this

Thanks for looking at my site and giving me some motivation to continue. I must say I have not touched it for about 3 weeks now as been snowed down with work. BTW I also looked at yours and am sure you on the right track regarding the way we should all be living. (I'm currently looking at Lucid Dream herbs. & my son & I have just eaten 2 organic boiled eggs. What a difference!)

Hi there Shawn,
Regarding your last two sentences, I totally agree, but from my experience at 75 I have to say 'It didn't', unless it was all due to the change I inadvertently made from XP to Windows7 at about the same time as I started WA. But for you I wish you the best of everything your grey cells will muster.
All the best "young man", Cheers, Simon

Oh gosh! My mother needed a mitral valve replaced when I was 11. Unfortunately in 1961 the heart lung machine was then unavailable. I'm always fascinated that when I came for interview in 1971 for this rare job, I did not even know of such a machine and only realised later that this is the machine that would have saved my mother. Good Luck. (We doing AVR + CABPG tomorrow)

Welcome to WA Shawn,
Best wishes to your success here. It is okay if you need to break away now and then. Just don't forget to come back every time you can and get some work accomplished. That is what I have had to do too. Busy is good!
Thank you for following me and I am now also following you.

Paula

Great profile, skc, I am following you after you feedback about my site, and figuring out such an interesting person :-). I am a surgical tech now working in Aventura, FL, but I used to be a perfusinist technician in my past, when I was living in my country of birth, Argentina. What a stressful work and enviroment!!!! I am sure you know perfectly what I am talking about....
I also read you are interested in Flight Simulation.....my husband works as Flight simulator tech in Airbus Training Center Miami, and he is also a big fan of flight simulator computer home games, if this one ends being your niche of choice, I am sure he can give you a hand. Just messege me and I can put both of you in contact.
Thanks again for your suggestions and all the best for you with your goals!!!!

I just replied on your site before seeing this one! Thanks for your kind words. Flightsim is a possibility but not yet on agenda. (Perfusion similar to flying so I guess it does relate) Will catch up with you later...I off to bed. Long difficult CABPG tomorrow!

Kyle,
My colleague is interested in joining and I want to email her the referral link. Can I just quickly add it to an email and which one of the 3 do I use? (I tested the main one and it just referred me back to my profile, not to any joining up page.)
So far got to lesson 8 course 1. Redid website 3 times as I wanted a different .url name and realised I couldn't change it. Anyway it's good practice.

Yes, you absolutely can Shawn. You can get all of your affiliate links from the WA Affiliate Program page Shawn:
https://my.wealthyaffiliate.com/share
Here you will get everything from your stats, the program details and commission structure, your affiliate links, create your custom messages, get banners, and some other awesome features.
You don't get your link from your actual profile, as that is your affiliate referral link to link people directly to your profile. You want your main one which you get from your WA Affiliate Program tab (as mentioned above).

Hey Shawn, just wanted to pop back and see how you are doing? I noticed that you haven't quite set-up your account yet, just wanted to let you know there is a video on how to do this if there is any confusion.

Setting up your account will lead to much better help here within the community as people feel like they can connect with you better (with an image and a description)
Just wanted to make sure that all was good and if you do need a hand with anything, just let me know! :)

Thanks Carson. As you will now see I have updated photo and profile. One question? Must payment be on an ongoing subscription basis or can one pay once off for the occasional month? This will suit me owing to the erratic nature of my work whereby I can just pay for those months I have time to get into this. Also with our dismal R/$ exchange one has to take care!

Hey Shawn,
The payment here at Wealthy Affiliate is a monthly subscription. You can always cancel your billing, take a break, then come back at a later date. It's totally flexible and you're in control of how you want the billing to work.
Each time you setup payment it's a subscription, so it's up to you to stop it if you wish. It's all managed from your account settings here at WA, so it's easy to do.
You're going to Love Premium and it's going to open the full potential of the Wealthy Affiliate platform. You can't build and run a business anywhere else online for less. Everything is 100% included.
Cheers,
Carson

Question 2: Enough to supplement my retirement income.
Question 3: Time enough that I enjoy. When it becomes too much, then has just become yet another 'job!'
