Employers need to start requiring certification.
Not so easily done - and not necessarily smart. I was hired in my industry strictly because I was ex-military and had a clearance. I had NO IDEA what I was doing but the guy who hired me said, "You're smart - you'll figure it out."
I did and today I actually actually teach classes within this industry in addition to my regular job. If I had to be certified to enter this job in the first place, I wouldn't be here.
