Are Information Technology(IT) workers professionals?

Yes. Some people think that Information Technology or I.T workers are not professional. If they're not, then what does the word professional stands for? Since the word professional means a calling that requires specialized knowledge that is often long intensive academic preparation, then that only concludes that Information Technology workers are real Professional workers. I believe one of the reasons why some people do not see I.T workers as professionals is because not much of us really knows their line of work. How they roll in the world of business and technological development. If you ask me, I'd immediately say that Information Technology workers are professionals. Just like the ones you would usually see in your television. You see, being an I.T is not just about programmings and hard to comprehend technical stuff, being an I.T means having the knowledge not only of your hardware and software but also of the events that are happening domestic and abroad. An I.T worker not only learns from his mistakes but also with his companions. He is well disciplined, willing to accept his mistakes and probably the most important of all is that an I.T worker has all the qualifications if being a professional.
