On a complete side note do you by any chance know Python?
No sir. I'm pretty sure your programmjng and language skills far exceed mine at this point.

You'd be amazed how few people know the basic skills in the most popular application in the business world. If you are an excel wizard, you'll turn heads because you'll be able to do the work 100x faster and more accurately.

That's how I made the name for myself at my company. Within three months, I'm already being offered a new position with a 50% pay increase. Nobody at the company can do what I can do, in no small part because of my Excel skills.

I know it sounds simple, but it truly makes you far more valuable. People like you and I may not have 15 years experience, but I'm already running circles around those people because I use technology to solve business problems.

If you ever have any questions in Excel or what's the best way to do something, don't hesitate to hit me up.

Anything you recommend doing, reading, or watching to learn more stuff about excel?

Doubt that since I don't know a language just yet. I am in the process of learning C but wanted to start off with something a littler simpler and heard Python is a good one to start with and is somewhat widely used.

Guess I just need to dive into it and see what happens...

The price may be a scam but learning wise it is not. Ive learned more in college by applying myself and choosing the right teachers. If you dont have the drive, you wont learn.

I learned most of what I know from some classes and tons of practice. There is an excellent YouTube channel called excelisfun that I utilize from time to time.

I created a document with useful excel formulas and examples for coworkers that I can send you if you remind me tomorrow.

I beg to differ. I am not sure if you have participated in an internship in the filed you wish to purse in the future yet but in my internship I have learned a lot more than what school has taught me. The most important thing I have gotten out of my internship is that I enjoy my job which lets me know I have selected the right career

Come on now, don't be condescending. I earned four degrees in 6 years. I applied myself plenty and had more drive than most.

It is a scam. You might learn lots of facts, but you do not gain much knowledge.
