Start with getting a focus. You can't be all that you want to be, effectively.

Dual core, pls b plain. I don't get it. Wat should I forfeit, etc.

@OP, what is your discipline? Do u want to change career merely becos u were posted to serve in an ict department of a university? I have seen corpers that were posted to secondary school to teach, but they didnt immediately want to become teachers. Again, u really dont know what u mean by saying u want to be a computer programmer, networker, web designer and a blogger. These are four different areas and each of them is very demanding. You cant learn them within the period of ur service coupled with ur responsibilities there as a corper.

Here is my advice:
If you really want to abandon what u read in school to become a computer programmer, networker, web designer or blogger, I advice you to choose one. If u want to build a meaningful career, choose one and hone ur skill there.
1. If you choose to be a web designer, you may consider learning photoshop for the web, html, css and javascript.
2. If you choose to be a computer programmer, you may have to learn number 1 + php/mysql, python and c++ or java.
3. If you choose to be a networker, you may have to learn Cisco, which involves Routing & Switching, Network Design and Network Security.
4. If you choose to be a blogger, you may have to learn how to use or blogger.com, and you may have to learn some search engine optimization techniques, and how adsense works.

There lots of ebooks and videos online that can help you learn any of these on ur own. Go to this thread: https://www.nairaland.com/1076296/definitive-link-list-more-than and get links to more than 500 ebooks that will assist u.

Thank you.

There are two things wrong with your topic.
1. You should decide which one you would love to specialise in. Choose one and try to become a master in it. Don't be a jack of all trades, master of none.
2. The word 'ASAP'. You cannot be whatever you want to become overnight. You must be focused and dedicated and you must practice regularly.
I wish you luck. Cheers!
