Professional: engaged in a specified activity as one's main paid occupation rather than as an amateur.

So, if you have a job and you get paid for it, you're a professional.

"Professional wit ?"

This discussion was had not that long ago.

When used as a noun, ‘professional’ implies a white-collar, skilled job, that usually (but not always) requires a specific qualification, and often implies an above average salary.

No, in that case you are professional, but not A professional. It’s a subtle but important distinction.

"So, if you have a job and you get paid for it, you're a professional. "

That's one definition but in this context I suspect it means that the person is a member of a professional body like the Law Society or GMC where you can be struck off for 'bringing into disrepute'

If some get outed they could lose their job, professional status and house etc.

If I lose my chartered status then I lose my job and would not get a a job of similar status which means losing thousands.

Luckily engineering is less swing sensitive than some professions.

Just assume they're in a well paid job with benefits, (expenses paid, tax free emoluments) think they're better than you, who are looking for someone similar.

I’m classed as a professional meaning I can sign your passport forms etc I’m recognised worldwide as being as professional because of my chosen career, a career that generally implies learning on the job and going to university etc and obtaining smarts. However the media has also over the last century added certain sports(big money spinners) to the professional status, they’ve allowed the lines of status to become blurred

But then there is the oldest profession. Are they professionals or not?

Well it’s not a traditional white collar but then white collar is traditionally male

Some I would say are professional in the sense they work hard play hard save hard and are financially secure but then some who do the job well you wanna pick them up wrap them up and look after them !

I operate a mobile crane for a living.

It’s a skilled job that requires specific training and official certification and earn quite a bit above average salarie but not what you’d call white collar. So dose that mean I’m not professional

I don’t look down on people because of what they do and have mixed with some very wealthy people and some very “professional” people

I like to go by if there nice to me then I’ll be nice to them.

Some of the worst people I’ve come across are those that think there something and perceive themselves to be better than the next person and quite often find their not as professional as they may like to think they are.

Everyone sits down to sh**e and we all put our trousers on one leg at a time

So let’s just be nice to each other
