"Professional wit ?" This discussion was had not that long ago. When used as a noun, ‘professional’ implies a white-collar, skilled job, that usually (but not always) requires a specific qualification, and often implies an above average salary. | |||
"Bodie and Doyle were the best ones." I liked Bodie. And his car. I had a lovely silver 3.0s capri. | |||

"So, if you have a job and you get paid for it, you're a professional." No, in that case you are professional, but not A professional. It’s a subtle but important distinction. | |||
"So, if you have a job and you get paid for it, you're a professional. " That's one definition but in this context I suspect it means that the person is a member of a professional body like the Law Society or GMC where you can be struck off for 'bringing into disrepute' If some get outed they could lose their job, professional status and house etc. If I lose my chartered status then I lose my job and would not get a a job of similar status which means losing thousands. Luckily engineering is less swing sensitive than some professions. | |||

But then there is the oldest profession. Are they professionals or not? "Well it’s not a traditional white collar but then white collar is traditionally male Some I would say are professional in the sense they work hard play hard save hard and are financially secure but then some who do the job well you wanna pick them up wrap them up and look after them ! | |||
I don’t look down on people because of what they do and have mixed with some very wealthy people and some very “professional” people
I like to go by if there nice to me then I’ll be nice to them.
Some of the worst people I’ve come across are those that think there something and perceive themselves to be better than the next person and quite often find their not as professional as they may like to think they are.
Everyone sits down to sh**e and we all put our trousers on one leg at a time
So let’s just be nice to each other | |||
