Last year I took some classes in bookkeeping. While I was there I took an additional course in Web Design and Computurized Graphics. I fell in love with it but dont have enough training to get a job. I would like to get some additional training so I can pursue this as a career,but Im a little concerened with things.

1) What schools have good training online. Im looking into Kaplan University. I want more training than the w3school.com can offer.

2) Is this something I should even get into. Im 30 years old and my daughter who is 13 is learning HTML in school.
Has anyone heard of Sessions School of Design

I'm a 51 yr. old female print designer. I was taught on the drawing table years ago. I had to learn to use a computer and all the design software in the early 1990's. My company I worked for just closed so at this age I had to find another design job. All I can tell you is that a designer now has to know both web and print design and all the latest programs. It helps if you can troubleshoot, too. Also, where you live has alot to do with starting a career. Of course more job opps. in bigger cities. I think getting into the Health care field is a safer bet. Good luck with your decision.
