Professionals Guide - Professionals Directory Category

A professional is a person who is engaged or qualified in a profession, that is, a paid occupation that usually involves specialized training and a formal qualification. Important features of typical professions include formal training schools at the university level as well as professional associations, codes of professional ethics, and, in some cases, licensing requirements. As society and technology evolve over the course of time, new professions sometimes emerge while others decline. The National Institute for Cybersecurity Education has produced a fascinating white paper entitled A Historical Review of How Occupations Become Professions. In ancient Greece and Rome, accountants, architects, lawyers, and physicians were important professions; today, notable professions include accountants, architects, attorneys, dentists, engineers, physicians, and surveyors, while other occupations such as nursing, optometry, social work, and veterinary medicine are developing professions.
