Mark, you crazy Humanist,
Don't tell 'em tech comm isn't a profession! Without specialized
education, and eventually certification PROVING we are qualified, how
will we be able to build up the barriers that protect us in our
specialized niche? I know *I* got in with nothing but a BA, but I don't
want everyone else being able to do that. Could lower the rates...
