And I wanted to know could I still optimally design web pages if I switched from a tower based PC running a Q6600 2.4 quad core with 4 gigs of ram to a mac book pro.

I found a nice Lexar drive and want to know if 4gb of memory is enough for at least 2 years of school plus a one semester course in web design? The course involves learning CS4 and creating several web pages individually and as a group. Thanks for your help!

For me, the pros outweigh the cons by a mile. I know how to sell myself, and am very professional.

I’m also very analytical, attentive to detail, and business-minded. My interests include small businesses, the internet (especially Web 2.0 Trends) and marketing. I have 2 blogs up on the internet; one about Web 2.0 Trends, and one about computer game development.

I’m considering becoming a consultant for small business IT solutions such as web sites, databases, and computer systems.

The only thing I’m doubting myself for at the moment is my experience in the field. I have a college diploma (2 years) in Computer Programming. I have about 1 year of experience in web design, web application programming, and .NET programming. I know I have the skills to pull it off (I graduated with honors, and am very self-motivated), but I worry that I don’t have the experience to back me up.

Do you think I have enough experience to kick-start a career in consulting? If not, do you have any possible alternatives?

Thank you
“Consulting” might require too much experience in my case. Can anybody think of alternatives for me?

I have fundamental computer skills, and was wondering if this certificate will be good enough to land a good job in web design, or at least give me the knowlege to freelance? Here is a link to the certificate cirriculum. Thanks so much!
