Compare it to a 'regular' job . . .
I tried one of those plans that swore up and down that it wasn't a multi-level marketing program, it was just "direct marketing" to your circle of influence. It cost me money to join (does a regular job?) and while I didn't stockpile stuff in my garage, I did have a quota that I needed to personally purchase every month in order to stay an "active member". Part of my $60/month that I spent actually went into the pockets of the 7 people above me. If I achieved the next level (certain number of individuals below me) my quota for the month would double. I would go to your state's Attorney General's website and search for pyramid scheme/ponzi/etc . . . Having to spend $120 a month to make money, especially when you can alienate a bunch of your friends in the process seems a little too much to pay . . . just my 2 cents . . . best of luck whatever your decision.

In my opinion, no. It's not worth the outrageous price.
PWP membership
My wife and I both belonged to chapters in the Central Indiana Regional Conference. It is a good organization of mostly good people who , like yourself found themselves in the situation of single parenthood. This is a great suport group, and the only one I've found that caters to kids.

membership
I had considered it some time ago but having seen them become so devoted to offshore MT's in India, I also agree that they are not worth being a part of let alone me sending them money for membership so they can turn around and sponsor above mentioned overseas MT's training on my dime...
Well, the MT membership is
free the first year and if we don't like it, we don't have to join next year, right? I don't blame you for being skeptical, but since there's no cost, I can "afford" to give this org the benefit of the doubt. 
I do agree we need an org for only MTs, that way we aren't being sold out.
membership sold
Yes, AAMT does sell membership list with your info -- I asked. Is one of their main sources of revenue. Then I asked to be removed from the list they sell and the calls became less frequent. Then I didn't renew.... ha.
AMA membership/nonmembership
I need to know the signifiance of whether a doctor is a member of the AMA or not. What exactly does this organization do and what does their membership mean. Any info would be helpful. I am researching a physicain who is a nonmember.
AMA membership / nonmembership
The best place to start would be the AMA's own website. There the significance of being a member versus nonmember are explained, as well as their bylaws, etc.

Happy hunting :-D
She is talking about membership fee for what
was AAMT.
With new membership, will MTstars still have
nm.
2.30 (but that was at Sam's Club with the membership card) (nm)
jjj
It's not any cheaper after paying for membership.
``
I dropped my membership after 13 years.
Not just for MTs. Membership is open to all transcriptionists.
This includes general transcriptionists, legal transcriptionists, etc. I did sign up because it was free for now. I am curious to see where this goes.
opting out of that is part of the membership application.
THEIR pro wages paid with membership fees.

They have to make money somehow since they have declining membership dues. nm
