I've been debatying going back for some more intense SQL certification. Or perhaps an online programming class so I can move up faster in my company. I have SQL experience, but not a certification.

My wife started her masters degree at age 30 and, if things go the way we are both hoping, I will be going back for at least a certificate (horticulture) starting next fall. She will hopefully be going back to work at UC this year which would make her degree free (going forward) and I would be able to attend classes and only pay taxes on the value of the education.

Here is the curriculum for the certificate I would likely go for. Seems to be pretty relevant to my future plans.

Didnt realize my comment would offend you so much. My apologies. I wonder how many homesteaders today went to school for it.
