Software engineers (Score 1)

I took a similar class, and an interesting topic came up. While most engineers need to meet some quality standard, when it comes to software engineering these standards are very fuzzy. While civil engineers who want to go and build a bridge need to be certified before working on that sort of project, software engineers that work on very critical systems have no certification/standard.

i am not sure if this is exactly what u are asking for but i think its an interesting topic that isnt really far away from what you are looking for.
