    I feel that we should form a Guild that is also a buying
    Co-operative. We can buy insurance as a group then, setup retirement
    accounts and many other things. But we must also take on apprentices
    to keep our profession alive. 

    Some where along the way we have to develop business rules,
    professional standards and codes of conduct.
