- I agree with your comments about the ineffective self-policing of the
- computer industry.
-
- One of these days, many computer professionals are going to wake up and
- find that there are now registrations required to work in the industry.
- The way to see to it that they are done _right_ is to be involved now and
- to set them up.
-
- Personally, I am old enough to have been grandfather registered as a
- professional engineer in a couple of states (although my initial
- registration is by exam and experience). I am now going through quite a
- bit of effort to make sure that I am registered in several of the nouveau
- categories of environmental science disciplines with some organizations
- that have a questionable survival rate just to make sure that I _will_ be
- registered with the right one (i.e., the one that survives and from which
- the laws spring). If I were still active as a computer professional, I
- would likewise go after those registrations, mundane as they might seem.
