: I'm in the same situation as you--except I'm a stay-at-home Mom with a preschooler, so I'm learning "on my own." I find that Adobe's "Classroom in a Book" series is quite valuable as a "class" in my own home. It really helped me learn what I know about PageMaker pretty quickly.

: I hope to take some classes next year when my preschooler becomes a kindergartener, but I'll be working on a magazine for a volunteer org that I'm active in, and time will be a factor, as always.

: I'd be interested in hearing about your coursework.

I've been in the printing industry for over 12 years after graduating from a polytechnic school in the field.
Made the jump into DTP about 5 years ago on a part-time basis. Learning quite abit along the way.
The part-time route was a good move, had the security of a full-time job while I was on my learning curve.
Operate on my own now out of a home office and doing quite well.

Mistakes tend to cut into your profit margins.
