What is the definition of a professional? Originally it was someone that gets paid for the work they do. Is that still the case? Amateurs get paid. Even bad ones, although we tend to call them cowboys. Another definition is someone with a profession. A blogger is a profession. Doesn’t mean they get paid. Not much anyway.
To me a professional is someone with a skillset that is needed and paid for, and where they take pride in their work and the quality of the skills they offer. It’s someone that works at their profession, improving their skills and range. Someone that is seen as somewhat of an expert at what they do. A pro.
A pro at their profession.
A professional.
