It is not our total CE hours that makes us professionals, and I feel 6 hrs is enough.  This becomes too much for those who may be temporarily not working the field but would like to maintain their license and return to the field later.  I think this may be why we lose so many LVTs ... let's face it most of us are women and if we take a break to raise children ... oops! one busy year not working the field therefore making getting CE more difficult and bam our license has lapsed ...why make it more difficult.
