Professional in description

Ok but I understand this an ambivalent meaning. Professional as in work, hope we all are or in something else?

I would go under the “professional at work” as in white collar management type but…

Anybody got any idea?

Is the term “ professional”a paid service or a work related description… Like I’m a manager in the pharma industry but not a professional in the sex industry

It seems to mostly bother people who know they aren't professional in any way

Nah not really just it can be a euphemism for something else I’m afraid. Maybe my bad luck..

I always thought a professional was someone who had a specific qualification after a Higher Education. And that they were a member of a body that took fees from them in order to work - doctor, lawyer, nurse, teacher etc.

On here, I take it as term used by some to make themselves appear more reliable & trustworthy. Others use it to make them some like a catch and possibly a station above others.

In real life I think you can be professional as a bin man or a brain surgeon. It relates to how you conduct yourself.

I know what you mean double M.

My job is considered a profession but I never use the word to describe it or me.

I haven't done it in years though.

We view it as people who have degrees and white collar type jobs. Doctors, teachers, lawyers and so on.

We don’t have a problem with it but winds many people up.

I don’t have a degree but do have a degree level job at work. Also earn the equivalent of many ‘professionals’ with degrees.

They could just say they work in finance, legal, healthcare, engineering, etc to generalise which area they work in.

Personally if they use sentences and paragraphs in a message then it gives me a much better impression of their communication skills.

Google the dictionary definition of ‘professional’. Synonyms are ‘white collar’, ‘executive’ , ‘non-manual’, etc. We’re just going by the dictionary definition.

If you class professional as having a job then 90%+ of Fab are professional. Not sure if that’s what people mean.

It means whatever the person wants it to mean.

It is often used as a way to filter out the idiots.

I am a professional, I am a chartered member of a professional body. I work with fellow chartered members and I have never met a bunch of people who were more snobbish, bigoted, stupid and self important.

Being professional does not guarantee you are not going to meet an idiot. It just means that you are going to meet an educated person who is just as likely to be an idiot than a non professional.

Always thought Professional was to do with non trade jobs like accountants and banking etc rather than being a sparky or a plumber. Nothing elitist in that I don’t think both as hard working as each other.

Not sure about that statement, "apparently" I'm supposed to be a "professional" driver yet I'm treated like scum in most delivery places
