Getting Real Skills, in Real Ways

How do you make good jobs, good skills and not-meaningless fame come to you?

Yes, that is three birds for one stone. Degrees, diplomas and certificates can help. But there is a faster, cheaper, easier, more threatening (more reliable) option. Just start and finish a project( or product ) that wins real customers, living their real lives in real markets.

Proof that It Works

This is how waiters, shoe repair men, and car-number plate painters get thier jobs.

By the way, this is also how the poorly-paid, lowly miserable Einstein won a physics Nobel Prize and became a professor. Also how a restaurant manager Karry Mullis won a chemistry Nobel Prize and became a highly-paid researcher. Also how a Subway worker, a train station worker discovered a new way to calculate prime numbers and became a professor.

Between these janitors and those Nobel Prize winners, there are lots of unlucky, unhappy folks who rose. Like JB Strauble who got a big job at Tesla. Like Anthony Levandowsky who Goolge and Uber fought to employ. Like Luckey who Facebook acqui-hired for Oculus VR games. And a million more examples ...

Proof that It's Easy

You build on previous inventions, discoveries, innovations and technologies.

You can hire or team up with experts.

Away from classrooms, you are free to experiment, free to fail, free to try unconventional approaches.
