Well...I did a little more web research and chatted up some author friends (one with a publisher, one self-published), and I'm leaning strongly towards the 'author assistant' certification being an unwise expense.

The 'real estate virtual assistant' avenue is still looking pretty good. Off to do more research.

Feel free to chime in with thoughts, ideas, or opinions.

Thanks.
