Would joining the freemasons be a good networking opportunity or a waste of time?

I'm honestly not trolling. I found my grandad's masonic ring and realized it matched the symbol on what I thought was a church near me - turns out it's a local freemason lodge.
They sound kind of like a mix between boy scouts and church, both of which look good on a resume. So why not the freemasons?

I don't know. Do you know anyone that's in it? It's not the sort of thing you can just apply for and you need to be a man of good faith and morals as well.
The fees can be pretty intense as well depending on the lodge you join.

Might depend on the lodge?

depends on the lodge. Average age of members is currently somewhere between 55 and 60 and climbing.
Enjoy networking with old christians who have time for a spaghetti dinner with a side of 1 hour long rites 2-3 times a week.

Depends on the lodge and the connections within. What city anon? Got my current position if

My father is a mason, I've been to some of the more open events for friends and family. It seems like a decent networking group, I think only one person there that was a mason was under the age of 30 out of about 20 or so masons.
It really depends on the lodge like others have said. Some are more active than others and would have varying demographics. You get what you give, so if you make an effort in the lodge some opportunities do arise.

This sounds about right: it usually ends up being as much as you make of it.
It's pretty much like a frat for old people, so there are connections abound.
