In the UK, "professional" implies reasonably or very well-off people,
such as lawyers and accountants.


* I am sure that many carpenters, engineers, and other not so well
paid workers perform their work in a much more professional way than
those named above. *

* I was confronted with this socially motivated perversion of language
for the first time in the US-american computer company which at one of
the frequent re-organisations decided to split the service department
into to: the "professional service" and the other service. What an
insulting disgrace!


I tend to agree with you on that broad point.
