That company was owned by an LA but he was grandfathered in, and second generation owner…draw your own conclusions. I’ve found that db firms with LA owners are doing it all themselves, not wanting to take on another designer, lower overhead.  I’ve also found that the MLA and LARE doesn’t…[Read more]

A lot more responses than I expected! Thanks! I’m not looking to go on my own, for a few reasons…one I don’t have the capital for the ‘build’ portion, and people around here are stingy about paying for designs, also I don’t want to get pinned down in this location.

I’ve heard good and bad things about both the flashcards and the ppi materials…..i think it doesn’t help that the materials themselves may be getting outdated a bit, and the fluctuation of testing questions….
