Oh, and court reporters are also required to do so. The fact that I don't specifically know the exact number of credits for various professions is irrelevant. I know these people and they are required to take approved courses on an annual basis. My landscaper brother is not required to take such credits. Neither is my niece who manages a retail store. My nephew, the teacher, who has a Master's Degree, is required to do so. The fact that they are not required in IT (or at least in your experience in IT) might explain why your specific skill set (whatever it might be, since you refuse to divulge any details here) is not providing you with a job in IT.

And apparently, according to you, they are not buying food or shelter, either, since those would be distinctly personal items. > Oh, and I would bet those places are HOT, and people are > living in tents in camps and do NOT have AC. Who purchases the tents? Those are personal items. -- Transpose mxsmanic and gmail to reach me by e-mail.

I work with some companies that are outsourcing essentially everything except top management. Anything that doesn't require shaking hands physically with a customer is outsourced. Of course, nobody at or above the level of the person making the outsourcing decision is ever outsourced. -- Transpose mxsmanic and gmail to reach me by e-mail.

So do you choose the cheapest provider each time you make a call, or each time you plug something into the wall? -- Transpose mxsmanic and gmail to reach me by e-mail. |
