It's a fairly meaningless distinction in a classless society anyway, IMO. "Professional" is a designation that gets passed around like VP titles at a bank.
Which one wears hopsack?

This just dropped today. If you missed out on the preorder, there are some sizes left, but they won't be around for long. Check out the remaining stock here
Good luck!.

I remember learning that classically, the five professions were considered to be physician, clergy, lawyer, military officer and (I can't remember the fifth). The standard was the need for advanced training and the mastery of a large body of knowledge. It was distinguished from the various trades and merchants.
I thought, traditionally, that a "professional" was a Doctor, Lawyer, Engineer, Architect... But is it really? Why isn't a Salesperson a professional? Why isn't a Retail Manager a "professional"?
A professional is a person who knows very much about very little and continues to learn more and more about less and less until eventually he knows practically everything about almost nothing at all.
This is great, is it your quote?

A Professional is someone with an extraordinary knowledge, and skill of what they do. IMO the skill HAS TO BE something that takes at least 10 years to master like cooking. Basically anything that can't possibly be taught in a 6 week course.
