Re: continue or wait for new exams

December 18, 2005

Well, the current MCAD would look good on your resume as employers will see
it as 'past/pervious experience'. Besides, you only have so much energy and
you may run out of time too. Therefore, I would take the 1 left for MCAD and
then the 1 upgrade. THEN if you feel the extra exams are still that valuable
to you, I would persue them then... but I think you should get at least the
big ones first in case you don't have the energy later. :-) Good luck!
