Try looking at the definition of 'professional' , that may give you some idea as to what the word means.
Quote by deancannock
I think all this stems from the word professional. People do put this on there ads and profile all the time.
Now correct me if I am wrong, but to be professional means to get paid for doing some work . Therefore you can be a professional cleaner, dustbin man, or a professional solicitor or bank manager !! So by saying your professional simply means you have a JOB !!! Does seem a silly thing to put really !!!

You're wrong!

right that should clear the matter for once and for all :doh: blink
I think this definition is bang on the money
It's good but it's not Carling lol
Very open to interpretation I think.
I was once a Professional soldier but did not consider myself a Professional if you know what I mean, I earned my main income from being a soldier as opposed to the TA who normally have a full time job and work occasionally as a soldier.
I did a course (P Company) in order to qualify in my work but am still as thick as pig shit and whilst I gained a lot of life experience what I did does not qualify me to call myself educated or expert in any field.
I have had a good life, done some things I wish I hadn't, achieved some goals others might never achieve, experienced many things that still amaze me to this day, seen many things I wish I hadn't and many things I am glad I did.
I don't need to be a Professional to be happy in my life or impress others.

That's fine but no need to have a go at those who refer to themselves as being professional. What harm is it doing to you as how they describe themselves?
I do not class myself as professional. I have a wholetime career that I have been pursuing for 21 years and have risen within it to a decent level.
But for me the word professional derives from those ancestors of ours that followed a recognised profession and I'm not in one of those, and therefore i wouldn't describe myself as professional.

Which is how the word is defined in my link..........which you said is very open to interpretation dunno
Yes open to interpretation by others who think that any job with manager or supervisor in the title makes them professionals it would seem, but not to you or me.
