What does professional mean when people speak about their occupation, or when they introduce themselves as a professional couple. I’m a truck driver does that mean I can put professional driver ??

Does it not mean that you have a qualification in the role you’re doing.

Easy example - Taxi driver. Has a licence (qualification) and performs that role as work. Taxi drivers are “seen” to be professional drivers.

The term professional refers to anyone who earns their living from performing an activity that requires a certain level of education, skill, or training. There is typically a required standard of competency, knowledge, or education that must be demonstrated (often in the form of an exam or credential), as well as adhering to codes of conduct and ethical standards.

Traditionally labourers, mechanics and electricians wouldn't be on that list. They'd be classed as 'trades'.

A fair number of tradespeople earn considerably more than professionals too

It still won't change that the people who state they're looking for professionals on this site won't be looking for them.

I think some people are being slightly judgemental on here but each to their own.

We used the word professional when we first wrote our bio because we took that as the word to use when our job could be at risk or at least cause us issues if our faces are plastered all over Fab.

Neither of us are cheating or on high wages we just like our private life to be exactly that.

I think people use it more in reference to how they perceive their class, culture and standing in society rather than a statement of what sort of work they do.

Personally I ignore this statement when it's made. Neither attracts me or puts me off. Whether some is 'professional' or not is of no consequence to me. I much prefer just to see for myself what kind of person they are.

A number of years ago where I worked we had a new guy come in at team manager level. He introduced himself as "the most professional person in the organisation". He kept going on about the need to be "professional". I nicknamed him Bodie! (One for the 80s viewers amongst us)
