I took my Extra shortly after the FCC dropped the CW requirement as well, skipped general by taking it and extra test the same time. Having the extra also helped me get my job in broadcasting and also fast tracked my CBT cert from SBE too. Having the ham ticket not only says that a person knows radio but they know how to learn how stuff works!
