@tundewoods,

You will be surprise how this will turn out. Ideas that may look funny and crazy in the beginning usually turn out to be success stories.

I wish him luck.

The good news is that web development is something anyone with passion, determination and the willingness to learn can do and do well.

However i'm still giving it a second thought if it will be a nice idea to make my Old man start going through the rigor of learning the basics of Web design.

aha! tunde, from your previous posts, I suspected there was some americana in you

back to the story at hand:
put yourself in your dadz shoes. If you were in your 60s and in a country where 60 is the new 40 and many people are working past their retirement age (not because they are broke but because they are bored staying at home), how would you feel if someone your age made the exact same statement? I mean, letz be honest here, there isn't exactly any "rigor" per se in learning web design. It isn't exactly rocket science. If he has the interest, thatz all that matters.

As I am sure you are aware, in the states they say, age aint nothin but a number. If web design is what he wants to do, then by all means, let him do it. Its better for him to try and fail than not to try at all. What's the alternative? Driving cab? Washing dishes? Being a greeter at the local walmart or sam's club? Sitting at home and watching TV 24 hours a day? Most of the pple I know who have been to america and never intended to work end up returning home in 6 months or less. Why? Boredome and no one is home. Everyone is out there hustling for the dollar to "pay the bills".

In my opinion (and this is what i tell anyone coming to america these days), he should engage in whatever will make him work smart, not hard. I think of all the jobs listed above (let's face it, given his age and the fact that despite his degree, it will be tough for him to get a job in corporate america due to "lack of experience", he should engage in self-employment.

Besides at the end of the day, do you want him to complain to you that if it weren't for you, he would have been the next google?

As always, my 2 cents

Tunde - if your dad heart desire to consider web-design let it be OK

            Beside you re into web-designed you can put him through

            A word from Nicez!!!
