When you look at the direct benefit over the course of your lifetime I agree the benefit of things like Eagle Scout of Honor Society are minimal, but I think that's missing the indirect benefits. Speaking personally, I firmly believe t

I think this is one of the most compelling use cases I've seen, but even this doesn't seem like a good idea to me. The benefit of paying money, having to use companies and government agencies, and having lawyers involved in the p
