What does it mean to be a professional to you? 🙂
Is this an admissions essay topic? 🙄Sunshine637 said:What does it mean to be a professional to you? 🙂

There are 2 general categories of ethics that professionals follow: general moral ethics and professional ethics. The two may disagree, and when they do being professional is sticking with the conduct and ethics of your profession, not your own ideas of what your profession is and isn't. If you have issues with your professional set of ethics, join the committee that oversees the drafting and changing of such things. Anything else is akin to vigilantism, in my book.
People come to professionals for help/service, not a lecture on religion, economics, social issues, etc etc.

I guess I should be careful with how I phrase things! After all, you don't become professional because you wear a white coat. 😀xanthines said:Being professionsial, no matter how difficult it may be.
