My two bits on the PT Certification...I'm self-employed, working with video/audio. I spend 6 days a week editing with Pro Tools and Final Cut Pro.

I'm not certified in either; I'm self taught.

However, if I had proper PT or FCP training, I bet I'd be much faster at what I do. If I had an employer to say, "Yer gonna take the course, and I'll pay for it", I'd gladly do it.

But I don't have an employer to do this.

I'm too busy to commit to a course. There are so many cool "Gear Slutz" toys that I wanna buy, and buying them gives me instant satisfaction. Buying gear is my priority. Then my work. Then my family. Oops, my wife won't see this.

In other words, I'd love to have the certification. Not to get the jobs, but to do the jobs more efficiently. How can one argue that logic???
