I am thinking about doing the exam prep since it is less than $20 for 35 contact hour prep course. Just a time commitment. I have the formal education and experience requirements. Just thought the exam fee of $555 was a little steep. I might be heading in that direction after I retire because of a conversation I had with a Facility Project Manager saying the money right now is awesome. I heard the test was challenging but I did have one boss that had a PMP and he thought it made him hot ****. He was not all that bright. Any thoughts would be appreciated .... even the obnoxious ones.
