Part of the problem with becoming proficient for one project is that proficiency
is based upon using the same skills repeatedly. The old saying... " use it or
lose it" is very true....if you don't use the knowledge... you will lose it....
going to a trade school to learn for one project just isn't effective....now
taking a few courses and using the information continuously would make
a lot of sense!!
