The word professional traditionally means a person who has obtained a degree in a professional field. The term professional is used more generally to denote a white collar working person, or a person who performs commercially in a field typically reserved for hobbyists or amateurs.
A professional is someone who requires advanced trainings and experience, must exercise discretion and judgment in the course of his her work and whose work cannot be standardized.
A professional is expected by many to contribute to society, to participate in a life-long training program (both formal and informal), to keep abreast of development in their field and to help develop other professionals.
Many professional roles carry with them special rights and special responsibilities.
