or going to take some classes or new training????

Taking classes or training is not the answer. The answer is learn something on your own, then you train others on it. Taking classes just costs money, and with the Internet, there are plenty of free resources to learn new skills on your own. Then turn around and you charge others to learn from you. You take a class, then you're just competing with the others that are taking the very same class.

The problem is credentialing... Autodidacts can't prove to prospective employers or clients that they have the skills, until after they're hired. What right-thinking person would take the risk of hiring someone whose ability to do the job is doubtful?

You get my point about classes in training. Yes, the responsibility for learning lies with each of us.
