How I did it: I studied it at university, then spent 7 years writing C++ in industry before moving onto a higher level language. The only people who need to use C++ these days are device-driver authors, OS developers and quants. For every 20 lines of C++ you will need just a single line of C#, the libraries are so rich.Don't waste your time, skip straight to .Net or Java there's way more demand for staff with those skills. Read how I did it…
How I did it: Be prepared to make serious sacrifices, like part-time night school for 2 years, then I gave up a well paid job and went to university for 4 years to retrain. Ultimately it was well worth the effort as I now have a job that holds my interest and multiplied my salary. I found being a student instilled certain values my parents failed to teach me throughout my entire childhood. Read how I did it…
I’ve had thoughts of writing a life guide for my children, if and when they turn up.
They say the definition of wisdom is where you learn from other’s mistakes instead of from your own. If i could pass down some valuable life lessons and impart some wisdom then maybe I wouldn’t feel so selfish?
$60nz/day is pretty reasonable for a short duration, but I fancy doing this properly and touring over a 3 month stint.

Despite working out the basics of sailing in the past, i have come to the conclusion i really will need some formal training before undertaking this, as there are some treacherous waters around the UK, especially around scotland.
