I have a relevant conundrum. The USGBC (United States Green Building Council) is changing the testing for LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design). I would receive LEED accreditation when I pass the test. The conundrum is: do I take the test. I have until October 31st, and then the test changes. Will I get a raise for it? No. Will is help me stay employed? No. Does it add LEED AP after my name? Yes. So then I would be:
Matt Speer AIA, LEED AP
Impressive, huh? The test cost $250, which the firm will reimburse me for, but only if I pass. I probably only need a week or so to prepare for it, but is it worth the effort? Will it be required at a later date? Is it just a waste of time?
I dunno….
Any thoughts?

I about a week, my company is paying for me to take a ‘Creative Training Techniques – Boot Camp’ after having gone through at least 3 other similar training courses and already passing the certification test. But the ‘bootcamp’ is a requirement to gain the certification they want us to have.
I’m so gonna go wild with initials after my name…
