Yeah every time I've ever looked into it there's always someone talking about "protecting the field from amateurs". And usually that means protecting the field from people who don't have a degree.

I actually do have a degree but it's in forensics. I just let them fill the blank in for themselves and let them think it's digital forensics.

Which I really don't get, because to my knowledge no disproportionate amount of problems has been caused by self-taught devs.

It really feels more like either elitism or wanting to protect wages.
