mlm, congratulations on your decision to pursue the CPS.  I will definitely agree with you that working as an admin only makes you smarter .... where else can you learn resourcefulness, intensity, prioritization ....



As for pride in abilities, do you need a title to tell you that?  I know that admins are known as the 'go-to' people in the company ... if you don't know you go to George or Betty ... but is the CAP/CPS something more than a self-esteem boost?



I know that when I attain my college degree, I will be immensely proud of myself, because of the obstacles I've overcome and the road I've traveled.  I don't believe it will make me 'feel better' about myself, but it will make me feel proud of what I've achieved, and it will take me closer to my ultimate goal.



But I'm wondering why the topics are so varied, because it doesn't seem to me that the topics are 'real-world' based.
