Ever think about the side effects your job will have on Future You? Be it physically or psychologically, the drawbacks of blue-collar jobs have workers asking themselves: "How long can I keep this up?"

 

But what if you could earn more money with less labor, and do it all from the comforts of your own home? Or even better, what if you could spend paid time off with your family and enjoy vacations together?

 

Join us as Hugh Richardson, Carrick Harp, and Jared McCarty share how they got certified as Salesforce administrators with almost no background experience, and how they're enjoying the benefits of their jobs now.
