I'll actually answer this seriously.


Edit

Actually I will not because I didn't read your entire post and began typing a serious post on membership in BGLO and other networking orgs. But your question isn't serious and therefore does not deserve a serious answer. Had your post said this.

But since you added this:

Get some life experience first before you even consider joining a BGLO.
