Let's say the following certification program were put in place this
year (THIS IS ENTIRELY HYPOTHETICAL.):

-- run by STC
-- based on passing an exam. You pass, you're a CTC.
-- STC sells study aids
-- the test costs $400 and can be taken one Saturday every other month
someplace near you (let's say within an hour's drive)
-- you must be recertified every 5 years
-- STC is studying whether it should make membership conditional on
passing the certification test within a year of joining

Would you get certified? If you don't want to clog up the list with
simple yes or no answers, send them to me.

Chris
