Thinks s/he gets paid by the post
I am about 190 days from retiring. I was wondering about professional certifications. I am not an MD or lawyer that needs this to continue working, infact it was only required for the position I had before my promotion and the fellow who works for me now has. But I like the association and my certification. I thought of this as I just got me dues from my professional association and I asked myself; ‘would I go the National meeting?’—No, how about local chapter meetings?—No. Do I intend to get another job, consult or work part time in the profession?—No. I just like what I do and like my professional certification, it just seems like it is time to let it drop. Its only $100 a year to keep current and it is more of an identity thing.
