40 and student !

Finally I've got to do what I like to do. It was about time. And what I like to do is learn learn learn.

So tired of corporate life. Like many women I was so naively head down into my daily job and daily duties that when I reached the glass ceiling at full speed, I hurt my head really badly. Ouch, what a brutal wake-up!

When the glorious time of my liberation arrived in the form of a thick check, I did not know where my career was going, but I knew where it was not going: back. What's next?

Back to college. Picking and exploring dream subjects I neglected when I was a young unsecured chick listening to my parents and striving to become an engineer, so I can get a happy and wealthy job for life. Yeah right. Delocalisation, merge and acquisition and other corporate ego-politics did not hit the headlines at that time, o happy days!

So now I am bathing in a delight of creativity: creative writing, creative photography, theater, advertising, journalism... you get the picture. Creative creative creative. Anything away from a computer !

How does it work when you're 40 and surrounded by MySpace generation? Well that may be the most interesting part of my learning...
