money hungry bitches

it's always something.

so i'll be taking this massage exam soon, right?

i almost hate the fact that honey is looking to get closer to this area (somehow he's become enamored with the ghettoishness of baltimore. plus rent's cheaper), 'cause i need to be near DC.

so here goes. DC certifications require passing the nationals, a one-time application fee of $50 then a license for $45. then you renew your license (probably biannually) for $45. AND you only need 12 hrs of continuing education credits (ceu's) every 2 years. virginia has similar regulations.

simple, right?

but for maryland, these bastards have me taking another exam for $275. then it's 24 ceu credits biannually, including 3 hrs of ethics & a 3 hr hiv/communicable disease class (my teachers said that works out 'cause you wind up fulfilling the MD and the national requirements @ the same time). plus paying the chiropractic board $200 biannually...

all that before i can even begin to get an effin' job.

i mean, damn.

i didn't even get into the professional association fees...

thank god cpr classes are cheap.

*sigh*

well...one step @ a time. gotta get thru the exam first.
then i can worry over all the red tape.
