For many of you, this discussion seems to be theoretical; I'm taking it
personally.
Here's my worry -- I don't have a college degree. So even though the local STC
chapter has awarded me a Best of Show the last two years, I wouldn't be
qualified for a certificate!
Guess when the certification standards are in place, I wouldn't be able to
enter my work in the competition anyway.
Guess it's time to start thinking about another career!
