Hi, let me introduce myself. My name is Paolo i’m from Argentina and I have 26 years old. I study “skills in the direction of sales teams” and I’m the coordinator of a sale team. Since I was 15 I love all referd to physics and six years ago I start seeing videos of talks from many scientific disseminators.
Now I'm stuck, I want to study from 0 but i don’t have the time and the resources to get a degree or to study in a University.
So I’m going to study by my own. My question is if there is someone that want to help me studing from 0 (give me advice, tell me to do and specific problem, etc).
I know is dificult but is the only way, thanks for your time.
