I met the quals for mine years back. I kept saying, oh ill do it this year. well i missed out on an oppertunity last year because i didn have it done. I got the picture that I needed it. It wasnt that I didnt have the quals, it was just a paperwork issue for the employer
Next break I had, I roared up to Florida and knocked it out. Now 8 months later, I just accepted a new job, flying fancy new kit, almost doubling my take home, just because I have the slip of paper!
You decide if it is worth it.
IMO, your in study mode, knock it out. You may not use it for years to come, but having it in your back pocket when its needed is a nice feeling to have
