The hole in these arguments is the level to which ‘good enough’-syndrome has infected most (especially small) businesses. When good enough is the benchmark, buying the receptionist Publisher beats hiring a designer. In some sectors the bar is so low, ‘better than nothing’ is actually still (almost) true.
The no-certification camp seems to unanimously say “those arent our clients, they get what they pay for”—and I agree with that: Self-regulate: you dont get stuck doing shitty work for cheapskates that want custom work at clip art prices if you dont take those jobs in the first place. No matter how good one’s work is, or how cheap you make yourself, its pretty hard to compete with free, so dont.
I personally am all for anything that would help separate the qualified pros from the amateur/hobbyist.
