Are IT workers professional? Yes or No? Why?

Information technology (IT), as defined by the Information Technology Association of America (ITAA), is "the study, design, development, implementation, support or management of computer-based information systems, particularly software applications and computer hardware."^[1] IT deals with the use of electronic computers and computer software to convert, store, protect, process, transmit, and securely retrieve information.

Today, the term information has ballooned to encompass many aspects of computing and technology, and the term has become very recognizable. IT professionals perform a variety of duties that range from installing applications to designing complex computer networks and information databases. A few of the duties that IT professionals perform may include data management, networking, engineering computer hardware, database and software design, as well as the management and administration of entire systems.

When computer and communications technologies are combined, the result is information technology, or "infotech". Information technology is a general term that describes any technology that helps to produce, manipulate, store, communicate, and/or disseminate information. Presumably, when speaking of Information Technology (IT) as a whole, it is noted that the use of computers and information are associated.

In recent days ABET and the ACM have collaborated to form accreditation and curriculum standards for degrees in Information Technology as a distinct field of study separate from both Computer Science and Information Systems. SIGITE is the ACM working group for defining these standards.

♦ YES! IT workers are professionals, because just like some other professions they have a big contributions in the development of many countries, they are professionals because they know their limitations regarding their knowledge in the information technology.

There are some IT graduates that practicing their skills in a bad manner or in an improper way just like those IT's that are hacking files, producing pornography videos through Internets and many more. But those people are the one that do not have the capability or not practicing their skills professionally, but were talking about IT workers here, workers that willing to share their knowledge and practicing it in a good way so that they can help to their respective countries.☺☻♥
