That's right...sm

I was in school for 6 grueling years. While I loved it, frustrations and all, I finally decided to quit. I was almost at the speed level needed to take the certification exam; however, you can be that level for another couple of years or even longer. It is very, very difficult. Only about 5 out of every 100 students will go on to become CRs, and most quit school within 2 years. All the English classes did help with MT, I must say.
