IT Professional, who's that?

Is that a superhuman...batman? Might be...
            Some 20-30 years ago to be an IT professional it would require one to have a scholar degree, some good practice in the field and simple ability to express yourself. CEO's would except you to know technical specifications, be good/perfect at calculus and other technical information. Within last 20-30 years many things have changed: programming has gone from lab/factory workspace to home userfriendly environment, there are many new programming platforms and also there are tons of new devices to programm. Also there was a large increase in the number of users and not to mention the diversity of age of these users.  So if you try to imagine the features of an it profesional today you need to think about the tasks he/she(IT) will have to perform. Firstly he/she will have to know what IT is doing, so IT will either have to have a diploma or tons of practice in the field, in most cases both are required. Secondly: since most of occupations require us to communicate with clients IT has to be an excelent speaker. Thirdly: in reference to the previous point IT has to be understanding. And lastly(might as well be the most important ability) IT has to be able to adapt to new situations and challenges. It is not sufficient enough to be best in one particular part, you have to adapt to the situation and develop necessary qualities based on the current factors.

            In conclusion I would say, yes, you have to be Bruce Wayne to be an IT professional.
