What's the story with the BCS?

[threaded]

Not because I believe in the moral superiority of people who know FORTH.

No need for anyone to believe, it just is, much like the sun coming up in the morning.

Quite
The whole point of the BCS is to seperate IT into a "profession" when IT is widely regarded as an integral part of the function of business.

Excuse me but I don't work in "IT", I'm a software engineer. I use a computer to construct the product I deliver and I resent the fact that people wish to pidgeon hole me as an "IT" worker.

Any CV with BCS on it goes straight in the bin. It shows the candidate lacks judgement about what is important.

Yes, I know a couple of other people that have the same policy.

Mind you, I know more people that put CVs in the bin if they have "Certified Java Programmer, etc." on them.
