According to Wikipedia

"
[h=3]Definition[/h] The main criteria for professional include the following:

1. Expert and specialized knowledge in field which one is practicing professionally.[SUP][6][/SUP]
2. Excellent manual/practical and literary skills in relation to profession.[SUP][7][/SUP]
3. High quality work in (examples): creations, products, services, presentations, consultancy, primary/other research, administrative, marketing, photography or other work endeavours.
4. A high standard of professional ethics, behaviour and work activities while carrying out one's profession (as an employee, self-employed person, career, enterprise, business, company, or partnership/associate/colleague, etc.). The professional owes a higher duty to a client, often a privilege of confidentiality, as well as a duty not to abandon the client just because he or she may not be able to pay or remunerate the professional. Often the professional is required to put the interest of the client ahead of his own interests.
5. Reasonable work morale and motivation. Having interest and desire to do a job well as holding positive attitude towards the profession are important elements in attaining a high level of professionalism.
6. Participating for gain or livelihood in an activity or field of endeavour often engaged in by amateurs b : having a particular profession as a permanent career c : engaged in by persons receiving financial return[SUP][6][/SUP]
7. Appropriate treatment of relationships with colleagues. Consideration should be shown to elderly, junior or inexperienced colleagues, as well as those with special needs. An example must be set to perpetuate the attitude of one's business without doing it harm.
8. A professional is an expert who is master in a specific field.

[h=3][edit] Trades[/h] In narrow usage, not all expertise is considered a profession. Although sometimes referred to as professions, occupations such as skilled construction and maintenance work are more generally thought of as trades or crafts. The completion of an apprenticeship is generally associated with skilled labor or trades such as carpenter, electrician, mason, painter, plumber and other similar occupations. A related distinction would be that a professional does mainly mental or administrative work, as opposed to engaging in physical work. Many companies include the word professional in their store name to signify the quality of their workmanship or service."

Apparently Emile Heskey is a professional, and he's been getting away with it for years. Just as a side-note does anyone know how much Fernando Torres was paid between his last goal to the two he scored against Leicester in the cup last week.

Have a guess I will give you the figure shortly.

 

[Tony73]

about 3 million pounds? :lol: feel good that we (lfc) sold him to chelsea. but :incazzato:why did we buy Caroll?

 

[John Benton]

Shortly is up and the figure Torres has actually been paid is £4 million, i have to work all year for that :lol:
