Ohiosec, I think I'd put those initials behind my name anyway.  You earned it and you deserve it!  Besides if you don't "toot" your own horn no one else will do it for you.  



Sitting for the CPS even if you already have your college degree is just icing on the cake.  My cake is a little flat (no degree) but I've got the icing!  The CPS/CAP certification just shows that you have gone beyond normal "book" learning in college and that you care to be the very best you can be.  Think about other disciplines, i.e., Human Resources, don't they have certifications with initials, and certified meeting planners, and even real estate people, can't they take extra exams to show that they have knowledge in certain areas of their business?  Who would you rather go to (or hire) -- someone that has initials behind their name (which usually means they have some "extra" knowledge) or someone who doesn't?



Please check into the CPS/CAP exam, I think you'll be pleasantly surprised.  If you've been in the workforce for a while it should be easy to pass with some review work.
