So I'm new here...
... and noticed there was a place for introductions, but there's not much to tell. I'm a 49 year old guy from Alabama looking to transition from the retail industry to the IT industry. It's been a tough road because 1) I'm old AND 2) I've already got a full time job.
I've been buying online courses when they go on sale and I've bought two from an instructor named John Elder. John is easy to understand AND he occasionally offers one for free. That's how I found out about steemit. When I realized I might actually make a little money by doing what I've been doing on Facebook for the past 11 years I knew I had to give it a try.
I'll do my best to entertain y'all here as I'm into a little bit of everything. I'm well-read with a quirky sense of humor, really into cars, weird history, GenX nostalgia, music, movies, antiques and all kinds of other stuff.
Stay tuned... I just might say something interesting. In the meantime, enjoy this photo of a house on the west side of Birmingham. I found it in an old box of negatives and my oldest son converted it into a photo.

Welcome to Steemit @steve.wingate :)
Welcome and best of luck in your studies and career transition. That age thing sucks. When did 49 become too old for a career change?
Thanks for the welcome and good vibes. It's not too old, but it's definitely harder at my age. Your mind just doesn't retain and hold information like it did when you were in your 20s.
Welcome to Steemit. I love a quirky sense of humor. I have been accused of have one as well. Weird history fascinates me, I look forward to reading your posts.
