TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
I apologize, Keith. You did not accuse anyone of immoral or unethical behavior. What you actually wrote was:
"I'm not an STC member and I owe them nothing, so what moral, ethical, or philosophical principle gives them the right to insert themselves between me and a possible job?"
My point remains. We are not inserting ourselves between you, or anyone else, and a possible job. Certification is an opportunity to IMPROVE your chances of getting a job. It is moral and ethical for you to avail yourself of this opportunity, as it is moral and ethical for STC to offer it.
