One thing the ICCP has always worked on is to try to keep
the government
from requiring a license to be an IT professional.
Because with the
government it will turn into more of a good ole boys club
than a true
competency proof or at least will run it at a lowest
common denominator.
Also, if they can't stop that to at least make their
certification
effectively the license since it is skill and experience
based with a
requirement to stay current.

I wish there was something similar to a CPA. Something
recognized within the industry. Is this where we as
professionals should take responsibility and push CCP as
our stamp of approval or does the government or other
organization need to accept responsibility.

Not to pick on you
but I noticed that you were certified as a "Assoc. System
Operator V4R1"
now that fewer and fewer systems are at V4R1 how valuable
is it? It shows
that you knew the details then but what about the changes
all the way to
V5R2?

Good point. Actually, V4R1 was the latest cert I could
take. But you are correct. The differences between V4R1
and V5R2 are many.

yourself. YMMV!

YMMV?
