Okay, I know there have been numerous threads about this. But, there's a class near me coming up and I'm tempted. I'm starting back to work but not until after the class so, provided I can get someone to keep Nolan, then I may take this class. When I keep trying to think of reasons that I *need* to take this class, the only one I can come up with is, "Because I *want* to!"
It may come in handy down the road, once I've done enough checks to feel comfortable/competent in holding checks. We live in an area where there are plenty of checks and techs (hmmm... that rhymes), but most of my family lives in a very rural area. My SIL, who is into safety in general - including carseats, says that there hasn't been a check there in several years. Does that sound like a reasonable thing to be able to do? I'm sure there is a tech somewhere (firefighter, trooper, etc) nearby who would be willing to do one together.
So - for those of you who are techs, other than being into carseats and safety, how else do you justify taking a weeklong class to do something that doesn't pay anything...?
Just curious about other folks reasons for doing this - mine is "because I want to!"
