Hi, I wish to comment on the issue of techie being looked down upon by other professionals. This is very true. And the reason has everything to do with the limited control of the entry to the field. All the other professionals have a strict regulations on who joins the professional body. We do not have the same for ICT. Have observed that majority of doctors, engineers, lawyers and accountants are into ICT consultancy and equipments provision. They have found it is easy to make money in ICT . They just go to China, import ICT related equipments and then canvass for tenders. Nothing wrong with it, but of course the services are wanting. Look at the number of colleges and universities offering ICT related degrees! Some colleges have just five old P3 and are offering Diploma in computers With such mediocre services from non techies, poor training and lack of professional body, the situation can only get worse. The solution is to have a recognised professional body for Techies similar to the one of engineers, doctors and lawyers. Just my thought Regards
