Re: STC Salary data collection

["Seraphim Larsen" <azseraphim -at- gmail -dot- com>]

I didn't realize the new salary survey requires an extra payment.

I've always considered the salary survey to be one of the main reasons to be
an STC member -- but it's certainly not worth an extra $99, since Payscale
and other websites also provide similar salary information free of charge.
This makes me seriously question whether I should even renew my STC
membership this year at all...   Hmm...
