You need a license for GMRS as well, but I totally agree. I've got my ham license but it's GMRS that we take on all vacations and outdoor adventures since my GMRS license covers my entire family.

Because I read a lot of books with various editions, alternate covers, etc. I want to track that metadata and if I'm going to just go copy/paste it from Goodreads anyway, I might as well just log it there then periodically export

English Lit and Creative Writing are usually not the same programs or degrees. The point being, if you don't have a marketable product (like a novel) and instead only have papers you wrote in school, the degree is your marketable produ
