This is Total BS.... the definition of a "Professional" is that they get
PAID for their work. That is it, PERIOD. Any more than that is just
embellishment, and "Gilding the Lilly" I would question ANY so called
Professional about his/her experience before paying them a dime, for any
job I contract for, and would rather get an Amateur, with Man-Years of
experience, than a "Professional" with limited or no experience.
