I fall into your final group – in the workforce for years, and looking to boost my resume with a Project Leadership certificate. So far, I have found the classes at eCornell to be very informative and an excellent opportunity to network with my classmates – fellow project managers from companies all around the world.

[...] I have to say, I have a hard time sympathizing with one of the real estate agents mentioned, Jill Galloway, who said her income would drop 60% from the usual $200,000-250,000, forcing her to seek other sources of income.

A resource that can help with the emotional aspects of financial crisis is a free eBook written by yours truly, and available at http://www.LemonadeNetwork.com.

Thanks again for your great article!
