I wouldn't say it's shallow to join just for your resume. More utilitarian. Employers would be impressed, and that's all you really need.

I totally agree with what you're saying. Most people don't join for a bonus on the resume' though. I think most join to have a card in their pocket that they can whip out with the "neuronic-pride", lol.

I'm honestly biased though, due to an experience with the aforementioned girl. I don't see myself ever joining (and I honestly believe I could meet the requirements), because a card like that would make me feel shallow.
