Tinman, thanks for the response. I was starting to be discouraged.

It actually does help a lot. I kind of started it as a "What should I be looking for?" Now that my endless supply of money has dissipated (I actually started paying attention to my checkbook again!), I'm going to be a lot more particular about what trainings I spend my money on, and I was curious what options were available. I like to look at the big picture, do what I can when I can, but ultimately have a goal to work toward, and know I need to do X before I can move on to Y. Your college-course-level descriptions were very helpful.

Annie, it is subjective, that's why I was hoping for a variety of opinions.... such as "I've taken this course with this instructor, and this is what I got out of it. But I've taken this other similar course with this other instructor, and he approached it from this perspective, and this is what I got out of it." It doesn't even have to name specific instructors or schools, I was just looking for a discussion on the different types that are available. So yeah, it is subjective, and I'm actually looking for a mix of both objectivity and subjectivity.

From my original post:
Quote:
So look at this as a discussion starter. What types of trainings are available [objective], which ones do you like [subjective], and why [subjective]? I know there are a thousand options. I'm curious to know what they are, and why you like or dislike them.
