Education and Software
Another amazing free deal is on education – free education.
The Centers for Education and Technology offer hundreds of classes at 10 campuses around the county.
“I think we are one of the best kept secrets in San Diego,” said Valerie Edinger. “We have quality instruction, state-of-the-art equipment, and it’s free. If you want to learn English, parenting skills, vocational training, computer classes, just a variety of programs.”
Students are also given a consumer card where they get discounts all around town. All you need is the student ID, which is just $2.
Once you have your ID, you can buy discount software at Graduate Ltd. in Kearny Mesa. There are educational versions of software available, and they’re up to 80 percent off sometimes, but don’t let the educational version scare you.
“They are exactly the same as you would find functionality wise in a commercial version, they're just a lot less,” said one store employee. “Visual Studio.net is one of our better steals – commercially it’s $999.99, and we sell it for $100.”
I thought this was cool and was thiking of trying it myself so I have something to fall back on when or if I feel like taking a regular job just for slow times.
