Even if you are not working at the moment, you never know you could consult. If not certified you probably couldn’t be paid as a certified person.
When I was teaching there were times when only a certified teacher was acceptable even if not my field. I was a certified orchestra teacher but during achievement testing only certified personnel were allowed to be in the rooms. School districts had to find teachers or take extra days to meet the requirements.
There is quite a bit of money to be earned these days, as the hospitals everywhere are capitalizing on this sham, but they cannot retain Workers while requiring poisonous injections.
