SALES - UCLA Extension Cert - Check it out

Sup Monkeys,

I am looking for a boost. I'm not looking for a magic remedy to break into sales, but was curious if this extension could help. Graduated from a non-target, mediocre gpa.

Finance Certificate with Concentration in Investment Management and Analysis: https://www.uclaextension.edu/pages/ProgramDetail…

I have to be a beast and hustle that much harder 'cause I had different priorities in HS and UG. Plan is to get a 4.0 in this program to better my odds.

What do you guys think? They said I will be given access to their Job Board, but it doesn't look like $6,000 will give me full access to their services.

Looking to see if the benefits will outweigh the costs.

Input appreciated.
