For today’s #KoffeeWithKyle chat, let’s discuss how we learned the knowledge we use in our jobs. Our we self taught, go to college, etc.? Let me know!
I am solely self taught. Everything I know, web development, software development, IT work, all has been self learned. I just get out there and learn it. I want to know, I take the effort to learn it.
I went to college, because that's what everyone did if one wanted an education, until not long ago. Since then, I've never stopped learning and have taught myself a few disciplines other than my field.
Have you delved in depth into other areas beside technology?
@kylewritescode There's a lot of self-taught knowledge and the application use of working on the end goals: web dev, IT, helpdesk, etc. Might make this a poll and get some good info too. I like this question!
@kylewritescode I went to some business college classes to get understanding of some theory, but most of my knowledge has been self-taught. I haven’t been able to find training that matches the moments when I have had to complete a task and learn along the way. I don’t like the bad habits that can be formed in the task-oriented approach, but it’s been the best method I’ve been able to find so far.
For me, it's all self taught. I worked in retail for 25+ years and most of it in management. While I was trained in the basics of that kind of work, most everything I've learned on my own. Customer support type jobs are something you learn from each and every day in my opinion.
