If you're one of the many people who were out of a job because your insurance company went belly-up, what would be a nice alternative to prepare yourself for another good paying job from a nearby institute ?

I have two jobs in mind, a programmer or a visual artist jobs that one take a crash course and be successful. Do you have the brain capacity and pain tolerance for the big headaches in learning the different languages of the systems that are involved in this set-up?

If you are a creative artist, there are so many visual artist jobs in demand but most require some experience so get yourself on a course from an institute which also have connections to companies that need these kinds of workers.

A programmer is an in-demand worker. As everybody knows, each private company has its own systems such that programmers that know either one or more of Linux, C, C++, Visual Basic, Powerbuilder, Microsoft Programs and many more are essentially assured of a good paying job. However, one must have a certificate and proof of good programming skills to land these kinds of jobs.

One should take note that these jobs are so taxing because of deadlines and performance paramters inherent to the job. That is why it is better to be a salesman, marketeer, nurse, policeman, teacher and others than be employed in this highly stressful jobs.

Can you share your experiences as a programmer or visual artist with me ?
