HI all Thanks to Eva. I work in an environment that anyone who 'thinks' they know how to do usability claims the title. People with BAs in English. NOW - I can rewire my switch plates in my house - but I will never claim to be an electrician!!! What this causes is little respect for the disclipine because many of these people don't understand research methodology. So even though they do usability testing (for example) the test methodology is so poor that any and all results are at question. So - I think that having a proper educational component to the career is essential. That way I don't have my directors saying that really what value does this have. Then I have to answer that I have never seen anything like this in major corporations I have worked at outside the government. I have a PhD in Applied Experimental Psychology Human Factors and do make more than the median. Not sure where they got the info. Susanne
