What REALLY grinds your gears?

Continued Education. My state requires that I do continued education every two years. Well nothing has changed over the years so I do the same crap every two years. The online class forces you to go through each page which is timed before you can continue. So, I'm forced to click through each page before I take the test. Hours of wasted time when I could have just taken the test and scored 95 or better.

The sate requires it but are you the one paying for it? I ask becuase that is the same boat my wife and daughters are in .All three teachers and all three have the continuing educating but they must pay for it themselves and do it when the class's are available, IE it might be at night or a Sat during the school year or during you entire summer vacation.

Nothing like a late response. Yes, it cost me about $150 for continued education. I wouldn't mind if I learned something but its the same stuff over and over again.

$150, you're getting off easy.My wife and daughters drop anywhere from 750 to a grand a year"for continuing education" and the deduction for it is no longer there.
