It is way less expensive and less stressful than retesting again later. Then you have it if you want it, for whatever HR or HR related pursuits you may choose. There are a number of free and low cost ways to earn credit, and you may have more than you think since it doesn't have to be continuing education. (First time work experience comes to mind, as many free webcasts as allowed for recert. off the SHRM website, etc.) Just my two cents Kerry, unless it is extremely difficult to find come up with the recert credits in time, do it.

I stopped working in July, and before that I had an extremely difficult pregnancy with a six-month unpaid maternity leave. As a result, I didn't do a whole lot of HR classes, and I'm not rolling in dough. I'm also not sure whether I'll ever return to HR or not. So my debate is probably not all that interesting to anyone else...no Big Questions or anything like that. My debate over whether to renew is more financial than anything.

The "Should I renew?" question would make an interesting topic, too! Maybe if you stopped saying interesting things I'd stop writing about them. :-D But the difference is that your book would be interesting! :-)

Before you know it, I'll write a book, like those chicks on The Real Housewives of New York. It's all downhill from there. I'm actually debating (still) whether to renew my SPHR, which expires next month. If you keep quoting me, I’m going to get a swelled head.
