i took the courses, got certified.
did i use PT ahead of time?? yes.
did taking the courses help my workflow?? absolutely.
did i put my certification status on my resume?? of course.
did it have a direct impact in whether or not i got work?? hell if i know, but i'm getting it.
being "certified" doesn't really matter, in the end -- it's just signifies that you know your way around the program. just like a college degree signifies you took coursework and did an adequate enough job to pass.
when it comes down to it, you still have to prove your worth to land a paying gig. but being able to show a piece of paper -- be it a college degree or PT certification -- is a start. at the very least, it can't hurt. |
very good post. The individual just has to weigh up whether the input of cash hurts enough or not and whether that outlay is outbalanced given employer and industry types who are the few in a position to give people work. Myself included
...... At the end of the day there are remarkably few people dishing out ALL of the worlds mixing and recording work........That simple really isn't it...?
