Dr Peter here,
This is a bit of a rant late on a saturday night/early sunday morning as I validate a bit of software (I am trying to find out what the maximum of files it can handle).
Do we have volunteer accountants, lawyers or doctors?
Do we have volunter gardeners, brickies or plumbers?
No we dont.
Yes people need work experience Yes people need training Yes amateurs have a contribution. But .....
Lets get real. The notion of volunters harks back to the exploitative seventies and eighties.
