I like classical, instrumental, Celtic or New Age if I need to relax.  Rock, pop, 80's music, techno dance, or fast country if I need to get revved up.  DH got me a new stereo for my birthday, so I can put in 5 CDs at a time.

I enjoy belonging to AAMT because they keep me informed about what is going on in the industry. I live in a rather rural area and we do have a small component chapter in our area which I also like, as it helps me stay connected with people in this profession in my particular area (networking).  Our meetings are not held on Saturdays, so the other poster who said that may have experienced that, but not in my area. 

I do enjoy going to the symposiums--they are not that expensive and I learn a great deal as well as network with other people in my state.  That is priceless, in my opinion.

I also like being involved with a professional association, as I take my profession seriously and want to associate myself with the professional association, and AAMT is it in that regard.  If there were other choices, I might feel differently. 

Are they perfect?  Heck, no!  But, the members do elect the people who make the decisions and therefore I feel my voice does get heard.  Do they always do what I want?  No, but no organization would, as everyone has different opinions. 

I think it is a personal choice.  I've been in MT for 25+ years and a member of AAMT for the past 12.  I make a very good wage, and yes, I do get compensated for my CMT, though I understand many do not.  I am proud to be a member and plan to keep up my membership as long as I feel my needs are being met which is networking, continuing education, etc. 

I have too much time on my hands for asking for opinions, yet you are perusing the forums using your TIME?  

When you see a company who posts for jobs nearly every day, you wonder anyway what the deal is and this HUGE company with a person making such disgusting statements might have wanted to know why they aren't able to hire and cover the accounts. 

Should be sulfa and Minocin.
