Worth paying for a certificate? - 14 months and counting

A local college offers a course that costs $1050. I would rather hear the honest version than the polite one. I can study evenings. Which ones are overrated?

Check a dozen job postings first. If most ask for the same certificate, it is probably worth it.

Thanks for writing this out. I went through something close to it last year, and it got easier once I kept a simple log of every call and form.
