Having an IFBB Pro Card is good for the people who dream of being a pro. My problem is that having it and being a pro brings no perks with it. All it does is permit you to enter a Pro contest. Other than that it does nothing. Having a Sag card gives you alot of perks. Not only does it guarantee you getting paid a very good income when you work, it protects you when you don't get paid or have a problem when you are working. It guarantees you a $1 million insurance policy if you get killed on the set. Maybe more now. It gives you a real voice in the union. Just like having a union card for other industries. Having a card when you play pro baseball, football, basketball or other sports gives you something. It has a value. Being a member guarantees you will make a certain amount of money. It is nice to have an IFBB Pro Card if that has been your goal. But in all honesty you can make as much being an amatuer BB than a pro just from sponsorships. If you market yourself right yu can easily make alot of money being an amateur
