I'm starting back in the industry because I think it will enable me to get out of this hole faster.

We all have to start somewhere, and it's generally at the bottom.
No, it isn't elitist. This is a business for most, not just a hobby. This industry has the lowest monetary entry level commitment that I know of. For free, you can have your own "Internet business". That is pretty insane.

You may not be able to afford the $50-300 yearly fee now, but I urge you to join the coalition as soon as possible. As I was telling a friend today, hundreds of $300 donations can and has saved me hundreds and thousands of dollars in legal fees. Pretty remarkable if you ask me. A sort of union, if you will, based on donations.
