워싱턴주 라이센스 준비해보자 (1)

우당탕탕 CA에서 WA로 transfer 해서 라이센스 준비하기.

사설 에이전시를 알아보았는데 작년 기준 셀프로 하면 300만 원 남짓 아예 다 맡기면 400만 원 꼴이 드는 셈이었다.  

환율도 무시 못하겠고....

 

라이센스는 꼭 올해 안에 따는 것이 내 커다란 목표고,

그를 위해 단기 목표를 몇 개쯤 세웠다.

그 중 하나가 라이센스를 따기 위한 자금 마련이었다.

오늘 보너스가 들어옴으로써 달성.

 

(사실 시험 통과했다는 사실만으로 회사에서 나를 위해 새로운 포지션도 만들어 준 터라 이 시험에 대한 효능감은 이미 최대치를 찍었다. 짜릿하다.) 

 

결국에는 대행사를 통해 하더라도 해보고 결정해보자 싶어 차근차근 알아보려고 함.
