I started working in Data Processing as it was then called in 1962. My current position is "Senior Systems Analyst". I don't have a piece of paper that says I am an IT Professional. My resume says I am, my work says I am. If I stop delivering quality work, I will soon stop being an IT Professional. I think it is the same for Professional Photography. Inside, I consider myself to have always been a photographer who works with computers to make a living. To most others I am a computer type who has a hobby. My two cents Ken > > > Good point Mark.
