medical demand?
The only one I can comment on with some semblance of knowledge is
accounting (as my father is an accountant). He worked for IBM as an
accountant for 30 years without ever getting a "Certified Public
Accountant" stamp of approval. ( You didn't need a CPA to work in the
private sector )
To my knowledge, neither of my brothers (both engineers) have any
"designations" other than their schooling. (<-- that, of course, doesn't
mean they don't have them)
