I think that there should be a governing association for IT, and that people who wish to work in IT must have a professional designation (not certs) that they work towards. IT is probably the only professional field where anyone can pick up a book and proclaim they're a "programmer". Right now companies have no way to differentiate between someone who's worked hard and understands basic computing concepts, and the pisshead that BSs their way to a position. So of course the determining factor becomes price, since companies have no other reliable information to use for hiring.
If the accounting/engineering/medical fields demand designations, why not IT?
