RE: The Future

Shannon,

You might want to check into this more. Although I did get Visual Studio at a huge discount some time back while taking a VB6 class I was recently a part time student for a few years and found that most of the on-line discounts sites require you to be a full time student. Fortunately, or unfortunately ($$), I have a child in college. I'll miss that discount when they graduate.

Yeah, I don't disagree with you.

There is always something else to spend money on, believe me I know!

I will just offer one more suggestion though...if a person were to sign up for even a single course at their local community college, in any subject, and became an accredited student, that person could then reap the benefits of student discounts on software and conferences (not sure if Common has such a discount...) and save a TON of money.

I bit the bullet last year and purchased one of the Adobe suites because I wanted to learn more and learn some new skills, branch out if you will...and I paid retail, which was stupid in retrospect because if I'd been thinking, I could have taken a course at the local college and not only learned something new there (which is a benefit all by itself) but I could have ended up paying 1/3 the price of the Adobe tools.
