Ok, ok….so you know my Latin isn’t
up to snuff either….
We probably, as a profession, ought to
spend more time selling people on the value of the work we do, rather than
trying to sell each other on the value of our education (or our educational
program, if we are fishing for students).
The bottom line is that the service we
provide is used by so few people when compared to those other professions, like
doctors, lawyers, and (gasp) librarians. Since our customer base is so
small, we have a larger responsibility of convincing the masses who will never
darken our doors that it is a good idea to keep paying us.
