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 !!!

It's good but it's not Carling
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.

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.
