I'd like to use my time constructively and become 'more marketable' so can anyone direct me to programs that might help me in my search for an administrative, managerial or 'office' type job?

My typing speed is stellar. I know the internet/emailing/how to attach files. My excel is 'horrible' simple because I never learned it. (so that would be a good start).

I know how to photo edit and own Paint Shop Pro X (similar to Photoshop). I also know how to use Moviemaker and synch music to photos/video.

If anyone can give me links to programs that may help me 'get an edge' let me know. I am really good with computers so I will catch on quickly. I taught myself Powerpoint.

Thanks.

There are universities that are posting their lectures online for free now so you can learn. It's not the same quality as being there, and to get the full benefit you might need to buy the books...but it's free and you can get some good benefit from it.
