Hi.  I'm at a career crossroads again.  Worked as a PC Technical Support analyst for several years
then went off and became a massage therapist (to escape the stress of working in offices...).
Now I just want to make some money again.  (I got a lot of massage as well as gave it!)  A lot of the
ads for computer related jobs call for C++ programmers.  If I teach myself C, and take a Junior College
level class in C++, will I be able to join the job market of programmers?  Are there C++ er's that
are having trouble getting work?  Also, should I consider getting a degree in Computer Science?
Will that help in getting a "good" job?  At this point in time, I have no college degree but am ready to
transfer to a 4 year program.  Please respond to my e-mail address.  Thanks!
