MYTH #2: It’s too expensive and I have to pay for it myself
If you listen to Linda Ross, NALP, CAM Emeritus, earning a credential is not only affordable but is a must if you want to succeed in this industry.
The best person to invest in is yourself and you cannot rely on other people to do it. The opportunities available to us are not only convenient, but they’re affordable. You have to do it if you’re going to make a career choice in this industry.
In a recent survey, 58% of companies surveyed said they will pay for their employees to earn a credential. So check with your organization to see if they have a tuition reimbursement program that covers industry credentials — You’re Worth It!
