Am I an IT Professional?

My answer: YES and NOT YET

Hala duha baya akong answers.

Yes:

for I love IT.
for IT is my bread and butter, I worked as an IT instructor, I also developed programs using VB 6.0 for medium enterprise.
for I open my eyes thinking IT things and close it the same.
for this is one of the few things that I’m good at.

NOT YET:

If IT Professional is someone who has a job in line with IT and for which you need higher education like doctorate or master’s degree to land the above-mentioned job then I’m not yet considered myself as one.

To sum it up, I could be an IT Professional if the criteria falls on the knowledge and skills of a certain IT field but if it falls (criteria) on higher education then I won’t consider myself as an IT Professional. Not now, and not yet.

What do you think guys? Ulaw man pud ta ani oi.
