The likelihood of IT becoming a ‘profession’ is nil. For a start the other professions would not have it as it would dilute their power. In deed it would threaten them for dominance of society: the IT bods would know where all the bodies were buried and by whom
If IT had qualification to be obtained before they could ‘practice’ i.e. exclude others, it would drive up prices and make alternative (cheaper) supplies of IT services from the third world no long available.
‘Professional’ status for IT – not going to happen is it.How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror.

Dunno about being a profession, but IT isn't a career. Not in the the UK anyway. And you can't compare being a Doctor with a programmer, the rules of biology don't change constantly in medicine. A doctor is like an engineer, but an IT guy is like a God.Comment
