<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;mso-fareast-language:EN-US">I wade into this debate with a great degree of caution, but at the same time I feel it would be amiss not to tell my own story – and let you judge
my stance from that.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;mso-fareast-language:EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;mso-fareast-language:EN-US">When I was 12 years old, living in South Africa, I walked door to door at every computer shop in the town I lived in, begging for a chance to help
out in the stores – I didn’t want money – I wanted to be near the machines. There was a guy, interestingly he shared my first name, and decided he’d give me a chance, and so at 12 years old I started showing up on Saturdays and installing dos on machines
and installing windows 3.1 and hanging around their workshop. By the time I was 13, I was putting together machines for them. They were even kind enough to give me the equivalent of 140 KSH for a Saturday morning.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;mso-fareast-language:EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;mso-fareast-language:EN-US">Somewhere along the way, I got hold of a copy of turbo pascal and begged pleaded and borrowed some manuals and taught myself how to program, first
in pascal, and then in assembler. By the time I was 16, I was then faced with a choice. I could stick with high school, finish, leave at the same time as everyone else, go to universities, spend years getting a degree, and then enter the job market at the
same time as all my school friends. Or, due to the age of the industry and how new it was where I was growing up, I could leave school, get a job, and get a 2 and a half year experience head start on everyone I was at school with. I made my choice, and in
around March, 3 months into grade 10, I clearly remember getting up in the middle of science class, and walking out. I never went back.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;mso-fareast-language:EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;mso-fareast-language:EN-US">By the time I left though, I had already organized myself a job, relying on the experience I had working in computer stores for the previous 3 and
a half odd years, and relying on the fact that I could already program. So, I got on a bus, at age 16, travelled a thousand kilometres down to Cape Town and started my working life. Over the next few years, I worked my ass off, earned just enough money to
keep me afloat, and eventually started my own IT security company, got defrauded, went broke as a result, got up, and started again. Eventually ending up working for the University of Cape Town in their IT department. While there I started moonlighting for
TENET (the South African academic network), and eventually ended up as their CTO where I was for 6 years. After leaving there and doing a whole bunch of contracting (primarily for various universities), I took a contract with Liquid which eventually ended
up becoming permanent and I ended up where I am today, in a senior position building networks across the continent.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;mso-fareast-language:EN-US">The point of this story is – there are individuals out there who have chosen a different route – I am not alone in the path I took, and I am not
special, I was not born to wealth and honestly I don’t think I could have afforded to go to University anyway – my parents certainly didn’t have the money to pay for it, nor was I born with insane brain power, I merely chose to find my own path and work hard
to reach the heights I have. And in all of this – I fail to see why any system should penalize people such as myself, and indirectly penalize the people who I could share my knowledge and experience with. I fail to see why a qualification actually matters
if someone can *<b>prove</b>* they can do the job – and do it well, with an equal amount of passion, drive and skill, however it was acquired.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;mso-fareast-language:EN-US">Obviously, this post is written from an intensely personal perspective, but I argue that there are many who shared the path I chose to walk, and
I believe that anything that removes the ability of these people to contribute to society and to our industry, is unfair, dangerous and against the interests of the industry as a whole.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p>Unfortunately, judging from my experience, both in public and private sector, HR and top IT management do indeed either get it wrong, lack ability or sometimes objectivity while onboarding vendors or staff.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>In which case, industry professionals can help in defining a criteria for all. This of course should also be shared with tertiary institutions and universities.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>As we know, new professions are being defined daily. Some core fundamentals remain the same.

<p>@James, <o:p></o:p></p>
<p>I like how people are open minded about ICT professional. it is okay to be a drop out, it is okay to not have any qualifications, just have passion and be good at what you do.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>Doctors and Pilots used to be treated the same way. few regulations, few standards and no regularity body until we realized that our lives depends on these people and their mistakes can be catastrophic.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>The ICT Industry is heading in the same direction. our errors are starting to cause some serious damages and the society is right when it demands some yardstick to know who is who.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>Will you fly with an uncertified pilot ?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>Can you go to the operating theater with a passionate and committed doctor but no certificate ?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>Why will you accept anyone to mange the system for your bank, hospital, airport and even national security.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>Cheers <o:p></o:p></p>

You see, IT is not about being a Doctor or being a Lawyer (where theory is a factor). IT is an operational field. IT, more than any other field - is based on Talent. Not much on Knowledge. This is why we have so many people out of Uni looking for Internships
that they can not find. In a market where the dynamics are governed by people who did not even do that degree - to drive technical jobs.<br>

<p>Two things stand out, concerning ICT Authority. <br>
1. Conformance of set standards (raising the bar).<br>
2. locking out unqualified personnel, where government has interests .<br>
This is not a trivial issue, because one might be qualified but incompetent (theorists) / unsitable, while the opposite might be true, unqualufied but competent/suitable, this is true for ICT realtad mattets. Personally I thing further probing is required.
