What do the people of the O-T believe would be a beneficial program, online/in-person, to get a certification that would be meaningful in life.

I’m not saying just for professional reasons, but what are good certifications to have that look good in the eyes of society?

CPR, OSHA, etc.

What does the O-T find beneficial?

Getting your CISP certification is great down payment on a career as an insufferable twat.

I’ve got a LA License as an Asbestos Inspector/Contractor, Lead Based Paint Inspector and Certified Mold Inspector/Remediation Contractor. Helped in a pinch when I was laid off.
Later added COSS, USACE CQM, Level I Thermographer.

Every engineer should get a P.M.P. cert shortly after graduation.

Helps knowing early on how projects get planned and executed on the operations side.

I'm not sure if this is a joke or not, but I have a couple friends who are umpires for baseball, and they love it. They use that money for their play money.

It isnt a joke but it kinda is... Soccer is the only sport on TV right now. I reffed it some for kids and loved it because it was and is my sport.

Like 60-75 bucks a night or something for adult leagues. 2 games. Not a bad gig. Dunno what the going rate is these days for youth and HS games

As soon as my friend graduated high school and quit baseball, he started Umpiring. He would travel a good bit before he had kids, but he still does it locally. His big goal is to work a LLWS game, but he does little league up to high school.

HVAC technician. If you combine it with an MBA, you will immediately own a growing business anywhere in the south.

The word “certified” is right up there with “guaranteed.”

It would be cool to be a sommelier, but shite takes way too much knowledge and dedication that I don't care to put in the work to obtain.
