Advice for former teacher looking into computer training.?

I am a new stay-at-home-dad after leaving the teaching profession. I was an elementary school teacher who realized it was time for a change. My wife is also a teacher who makes more than I did. While I am home with my sixteen-month-old daughter, I want to pursue computer training at night so I can provide better for my family. I have read many posts that say to find your passion and a related job, but after much soul-searching, I don' t have any big passions other than being passionate about wanting to be a good provider. I do spend a lot of time in front of the computer, have created several simple web pages, and was always a ';go to'; person at school when people needed help with computers. I have one friend who is a Systems Analyst with security clearance. He likes what he does but says that it may be easier for me to learn Oracle and become a dba. I also wonder about programming. I'll be 35 this month. I live in the Chicago suburbs. Thanks for any advice.Advice for former teacher looking into computer training.?
I pasted a link to a ';Oracle Job'; site which explains what you need to get the job. You may get an idea if you would be this kind of person, some need rotating hours or travel and with you being a stay at home dad, that doesn't fit your priorities.





I think learning html may be good in your case because you already have a nack for creating your own web pages.





HTML uses alot of data codes if you like that sort of thing.Advice for former teacher looking into computer training.?
DBA is a great way to break into the profession. Learning to be a programmer from the ground up is tough and requires years of experience. You can learn to be a decent DBA in a year or less and positions are quite well paid. I would go for an Oracle certification program.
