We have some around here, right?

I'm looking into taking the courses through our local extension program. It costs $300 + 60 hours of volunteer work, and the classes go for 10 weeks.

What was your program like, and when did you earn your certification? What kind of job opportunities has it opened up for you?

A good friend of mine is. She's combined her experience there with college experience and gotten a good job in the research field. She does like to joke about the fact that it's almost exclusively older retired ladies (some men, but definitely a minority) who think she's just a kid.
