Yep, I'm good at math. Plus massive amounts of studying.

I got a job in 2006 with 1 exam passed (the Probability & Calculus exam) that I passed on my own while working @ UPS (aka , Hell). Most people have about 3 exams now when they get their first gig due to more competition among candidates. I've been in the field for about 6 years.

What I love about it is that you don't need to spend thousands of dollars on some degree. You just study and pay a couple hundred to take the test. That's it. The society has volunteers that make and grade the tests. I plan on volunteering in a few years to continue to make the exams tough.
