Reminds me of a conversation I had with an acquaintance I knew from high
school that is currently in law school. During the conversation
regarding some facet of law she chastised me for having an opinion on it
because I wasn't law school educated. Her words were something along
the lines of not practicing law without a law degree. I bit my tongue
but was tempted to tell her that I'd stop, in her words, "practicing
law" when her law school buddies and the lawyers of the world would quit
trying to do my then job as an IT guy.

Maybe it is just me, but there tends to be this I have a JD or MD so I
can do your job as an IT guy attitude out there. They think it can't be
that hard because being an IT guy doesn't require letters after your
name and having to spend 10s of thousands of dollars on a post-graduate,
masters level degree. It isn't all JDs and MDs, but it is enough to
cause headaches and keep IT folks employed cleaning up messes.
