Don't you mean certification.  I don't remember anything about being a
member of the HPS qualifying you for anything.  Even I was a member (when I
could afford the dues as a student).

I echo the sentiments on the dismal salary situation.  It is an odd irony
that should I ever get the motivation to finish my degree, I could obtain a
job as an "actual" HP and make significantly less than I do as a
technician.  Not that I'm not worth every penny I make now...
