One of its most widespread uses allows us to refer to everything that related to the profession.
Own or associated with the profession, which is the activity that a person develops after having been trained and that allows them to earn a living
Meanwhile, the profession is that activity, trade or work that an individual carries out on a daily basis in exchange for receiving a salary.
It should be noted that the individual who exercises this or that profession has a detailed knowledge of the work he performs thanks to the fact that he has received specialized training in this regard.
So, the professional is the one who displays a profession.
When a person decides to practice a profession, that is, to become a professional in this or that discipline, it will be necessary to study specific studies on the subject in question, which always correspond to university levels, or failing that, tertiary.
Just and once the person successfully completes them, the academic institution in which he studied, will issue a certificate of compliance with the studies or diploma, which is the official document that will accredit his expertise to perform in the profession.
Basic training will not accredit the person to perform as a professional.
We also use the word professional to indicate that person who deploys this or that profession as a means of survival, that is, from this exercise and the perception of the remuneration he and his family can support.
Sport: athlete who practices a sport in a formal way and not as a hobby
On the other hand, in sports it is recurrent that we find this term since it is applied to account for that athlete who practices a sport as a profession and not as a hobby, that is, he receives a salary for practicing it.
Normally, people start some sporting activity for pleasure, then, and if they present notable conditions for it, they will become a professional, because they are hired by various entities to perform as such.
On the contrary, a person who practices a sport simply for the joy and pleasure that it provokes should not be considered as a professional because they do not receive any financial retribution.
Person who practices a profession with commitment, efficiency and skill
And we also tend to use the word professional a lot to give an account of that person who practices a profession with efficiency, commitment and great ability. “Mario is so professional that he never fails to attend a meeting.”
It is easy to detect when a professional unfolds his work with professionalism because he does it with a tremendous dedication to his task, which can be seen as always being ready to act when the job demands it.
The study also reveals to us that someone is a professional because they do not sit still or agree with what they have learned, but continue to study improvements or advances in their profession in order to then be able to apply them in their work and in this way offer a better service or attention.
In doctors and health professionals this situation is common and also a demand if they want to be always up to date and offer the best of their services to their patients.
Medicine and science do not rest in their action, every day they generate contributions that allow progress in some treatment, cure, or diagnostic practice, and so it is necessary to stay attentive and learn the news in order to learn and apply them in the exercise of the profession.
