If your AvantGuild membership is running out soon, some of you might be deciding whether or not to re-up. Although this should seem as a no-brainer, some may be still thinking about what an AvantGuild membership can do for them. You know the obvious reasons-- AvantGuild is the perfect storm of professional and personal benefits that helps your career skyrocket to ridiculous levels. But most people don't want to hear that kind of "salesy," buzz word-laden pitch-- they want to know how their AvantGuild benefits cut mustard in the real world. And what better way to do that than Letternman style...

From the home office in Wahoo, Nebraska, the top ten reasons to renew your AvantGuild membership:

10. Barnes&Noble.com Discount- Books aren't just for keeping kitchen tables even and practicing high-heel balancing anymore.

9. Theater Discounts and Ticket Giveaways- There's no greater expression than through the majesty of song(and dance).

8. Psychotherapy Discounts- It did wonders for Tony Soprano. And mother-in-laws generally suck.
