ASID Worth it?

Time to pay ASID membership fee, but what does ASID do for you? Well, depending on if you have your own design firms. If you have your own business, ASID provides a great platform for you to advertise your firm, but if you work for someone else, ASID really does not help you that much. Why? if you work for another designer, how are you going to use ASID to advertise yourself?! Moreover, people who come to ASID website to look for a designer, they will contact those who own companies, not those who work for someone else. Here is the best part, the design firm owners pay exactly the same amount of membership fee as their employees while the income difference between them is huge.
