What is the best resource for learning civil 3d?

As a cad designer of 11 years I am taking the step to try and learn civil 3d. I am not the best at self teaching and am curious if anyone has a good suggestion for a program or maybe a dvd/ book system to learn this software. there are a few out there but i hate to dump a good amount of money on something that is not worth buying. any help would be greatly appreciated.

I have been designing homes for 8 years and I am thinking about learning civil 3d so I can get a job with a firm near my home. What can I expect as a starting wage and how long will or should it take for me to learn this software?.

Learning software is one thing so I am going to ask you:

 

1.  What do you know about surveying?

 

Or

 

2.  What do you know about site design?

 

or

 

3.  What do you know about designing a road?

 

Just a few of the things to consider.

Hello, I don't know much about surveying. I have been a residential design build contractor for the last 14 years. I draw house plans for builders and individual clients. I design on the computer with chiefarchitect software. I do design site plans for most of these clients. I also do 3d modeling of their home on their lot.
