Can fly a drone, knows the rules…
Sam: You’ve been flying drones for years. Do you need a certificate?
Antonio: I don't actually need a licence but am toying with the idea of taking a course with a 101 level course. It costs about $300.
Sam: Can your pension pay for that?
Antonio: It’s affordable.
Sam: And the use of it?
Antonio: I could do some drone photography if I showed them a credential, but it’s not a pressing vocational need. Do you think this an ego trip at my stage of life? Or might there be an existential justification for wanting to take the course?
Sam: Gives you a new credential. A badge. Hones your cognition. Maybe meet new friends. These sorts of things extend life meaningfully. Is it a useful course?
Antonio: It’s asynchronous online. I teach online so I know how that works. Maybe not so much face to face with others. Practical test is with one of their team. Reviews are OK. I’ve got four weeks of relatively free time.
