Yes, what Estellios said is what I meant. Signing something is a purely cosmetic feature, and there's no reason to lock it behind unreasonable requirements such as needing the requisite DoL jobs to get all, or even most, of your materials.

While I would like to see some recognition for having DoL jobs leveled, I don't think that is the way to go about it.

This is, of course, merely an opinion.
