When is a person a professional?

A professional is mostly recognized or determined upon how he/she looks, talks, acts and works the given task. Nowadays, society in the Philippines does not emphasize the importance of professionalism. Example; a student may graduate from high school even if he cannot really read or cannot understand what he is reading. We mostly accept below good output most of the times.

When Professionalism is evaluated, people may be having some difficulties. Professionals are judged according to the following:

* Characteristics
* Educational qualification

If a person cannot meet this criteria he maybe considered to be an amateur or just an advance user.
