When Is It Never Late?
You have probably met young people tired of life.
But there are those curiously looking at the opposite sex being in their 80-s, and are ready to get involved in some adventure and start everything all over again.
This post is dedicated to just such zingers.
All we can face the situation that really affects us: the war forcing us to leave homes, change professions… What are we to do: mourn, drink or blame our troubles?..
Let’s change and influence our destiny on our own! In business, it is called crisis management, when the Head of the company dramatically changes enterprise’s life. Look specifically at your situation: does everything suit you?..
So, let’s suppose you don’t have enough money but have a desire to earn more. Where can you make everything work in Ukraine? Where is money now? Which sectors of our economy is booming at the moment? Look, think about how to improve the situation, and make a decision.
I can tell you my story.
In the early 90s, I worked in the field of nuclear energy. At one point, my supervisor announced that the position of Research Assistant is the most I can achieve. That made me a little embarrassed. I realized: I have to look for another occupation. I went to the book market and spent a half of the salary on tutorial on Corel Draw. After reading it, I did all the examples and exercises on a home computer. In six months, I was started participating in the side projects, which brought me as much money as my regular job. A year later, I found a high-paid job in the media business.
So, if you do not mind to go my way and try yourself in IT field, which is always in demand, I’ll suggest you one lifehack. Soon, an ambitious program will be launched in Ukraine. It will prepare IT professionals. It is developed specially for people who previously have nothing in common with this profession. Courses for housewives, taxi drivers, steelmakers, miners, pensioners, and students will be available all over Ukraine. The program CS50 (https://cs50.harvard.edu/) was developed at Harvard. It has been already tested in many countries, and it has shown excellent results. Now, it is being translated in Ukrainian. In 2016, CS50 will be available in our country.
However, if you can’t wait for 2016 and want to start studying right now, two test groups will start in Kyiv, and you can get join absolutely for free.
When: twice a week from 7 p.m. to 9 p. m. in Gulliver mall.
Course duration: 12 weeks
However, there is one condition: the basic knowledge of English for reading the material. Teaching is held in Ukrainian and in Russian. If you have a desire to change your qualification and become an IT-specialist, to find a well-paid job, despite your current status and age – you are invited! I also want to enroll as an ordinary student to experience everything the others are going to.
