I would like to know if anyone here has become a Certified Photographic Consultant by the Photo Marketing Association International. I am thinking about considering looking into estimating the feasibility of analyzing the potential thought of the idea of taking the test, so I thought I might ask if anyone else has.

Is the knowledge helpful and useful? Is the PMA widespread enough to give me a leg up on snagging a photography-related job? Is it difficult if you put in good time studying? Am I wasting my time? :-)
