I would be quite wary of Mensa membership were I setting out on a career.
Truth be told, I made
$1,OOOs from clients
I acquired thru contact in Mensa when I was on-the-job,
but I will acknowledge that is not necessarily the same as
anticipated experience in a translation career. (I imagine
that your daughter has an
excellent memory.)
It may be comparable to my NRA membership, of over 5O years.
Not everyone in NY loved the NRA. I did not put that on my resume,
nor was it the first thing out of my mouth during employment interviews.
I dont remember that it arose in conversation at all,
in common with a lot of other things whereof we did not speak.
It seems
un-likely that English Mensa publicizes its membership lists,
such data remaining immune from the scrutiny of potential employers.
When I was hiring for my own firm, membership in Mensa
was not among my chosen criteria for applicants. (That's a little joke.)
However, I recruited my law partner, Elliot,
DIRECTLY from Mensa.
American Mensa is very flexible, malleable, & good for making new friends.
Some of its SIGs r intriguing. In the alternative,
u might offer her membership in the NRA.
