Speaking from my own experience, I can point to $500K to $750K that I 
made as a direct result of my being involved with the STC over the 
years, money I would not have made if I hadn't been here.  Some of my 
oldest friends are people I met through the STC.  And becoming an 
Associate Fellow and then a Fellow didn't hurt, either.  All of this 
was because I paid for the STC out of my own pocket: dues, 
conferences, meals, airfare: EVERYTHING.  I thought it was worth it 
to do so even when I was making $28K/year and, given the financial 
and intangible returns on my investment, I was right.

And, with the deal STC HQ made with Genesys virtual conferencing, physical
and virtual chapters are able to step up to the technology line with little
pain. The organization is focusing more on the needs of its membership than
it ever has before. Over the next couple of years, we're going to see some
interesting programs.

My STC membership is valuable to me: jobs, educational opportunities,
friends (put in any order). 

And, if you look at the annual membership for other professional
organizations such as IEEE and ASTD, STC membership is a great value for the
money.

YMMV
