I am moving this separate topic from within the “Certifications don’t Measure” discussion. This appears to have a strong enough emotional impact to bring this topic into it’s own light.
The deeper issue is not so much should we have a guild with”levels” of experience but that of a professional organization (society?) where individuals can exchange ideas and learn from others.
This topic was started by Brian Lusk with whom I have corresponded outside the other discussion. We agreed thatthis topic originally titled “A Computer Technician Guild”, Messsage 287 of 320 from within Discussion: Certifications soesn’t measure should be separate from the certification thread.
I am copying Brian’s original topic from the other discussion to here as a frame of reference. Additionally, I am cross-referencing this discussion within the threads of the other.
My hope with this discussion is to generate enough interest that together we can draft a proposal to present to a sponsor. Possibly TechRepuclic?
