Job Placement Service / Tech Support

Everything in this world has politics, PBP is no exception. I see a very bleak future for some.

I was re-reading this thread and had discovered that YOU, Mr. Jackson, had first mentioned this idea back in August, and I still think the idea is excellent... I understand that it's GOT to be more complicated than I'm picturing it, otherwise it would've been done already. Either that or there's no market for it. And I'm sure it's a mixture of both...

I've led a very interesting life as of so far, but I'm still young (if you consider almost 29 young) and there's a great deal of things that I still don't understand, politics being one of many of them. I'm honestly not trying to argue with you, I just got a bit excited and was hoping to see this course become a reality. If not, and I can afford the time (and tuition, transportation, food, etc.) within the next four years as I'm working on my BSEE (Electrical Engineering) or after graduation, then I may take RCG's course. Of course, I'll make sure to thoroughly investigate it in every way, shape, and form possible to make sure I'll actually learn something not only useful, but valuable from it. I was just trying to state in my previous posts that everything I've heard, read, and seen about Darrel Taylor and many other members (or "gurus") of this forum that I wouldn't hesitate to enroll in a course offered by any or all of them...

You've hurt my feelings by stating that you "see a very bleak future for" me. I had just been commendated by ALL of the administrators at the local community college for the scores I'd pounded out only a couple of hours ago on my "Compass" test (college placement test here in Kentucky). The words "unbelievable", "genius", and similar up-lifting statements were thrown around when referencing my English and Reading scores. I was in the best "happy-go-lucky" feeling I've felt in quite some time-until stumbling upon your last post...

I promise to drop the subject-until somebody else mentions it, OK? I don't enjoy arguements and confrontations, so I won't bring it up again. I apologize for continuing to encourage it; I had just hoped it would actually be as easy as I was envisioning it and profitable enough for it to really be a consideration for some of the "gurus" here. Wishful thinking on my part, but it seems the only thing I had accomplished was cramming my foot into my mouth...

Anyway, Mr. Jackson, I sincerely hope that neither you nor any other member of this forum think I'm an outright idiot. You have a LOT more experience than me in not only programming these PIC MCUs, but a great deal of other areas also, I'm sure, (and it sounds like the accreditation to prove it from other posts) so I would be HONORED to be able to call you a friend, teacher, mentor, ect. instead of anything even remotely resembling the opposite of those. If nothing else, I'm a quick learner-so I would GREATLY appreciate your input, help, suggestions, and constructive criticism on any and all future topics that you could (and would be willing to) help me out with-especially while I'm still "learning the ropes" of PBP...

Again, sorry to seem so hard-headed. Like I said, I was just a bit excited about the general idea that had been mentioned...Thanks in advance for your time and understanding...

Sincerely,
-Adam Collins

Hey Adam,

Do not worry about Trent, he means well. I think

I can only speak for myself, but I will bet many will agree. It is refreshing to have another newbe here that really wants to learn. I have a suspicion you will not be in the newbe category for long.

As far as the online classes go. I would like to see one setup by one of the gurus here too. I would be one of the first to sign up.

Bruce is working on a book, maybe he could create a course to go with it?

Keep doing what you are doing, seems to me you are on the right track.
