I admire Professionalism rather than a Profession.

What profession do you admire most and why?

Nowadays, Professions are a badge of honour.

Increasingly our education system has pandered to providing the qualifications to be a Professional at  a prohibitive cost to many who have the ability and talent.

A few win through and they are the Professionals.Obsessed by their chosen professional passion,they are the ones you want to look after you or your family.They excel.

The vet Noel Fitzgerald comes to mind,he epitomises someone at the top of their profession and who is constantly looking to improve outcomes.

However,by their very nature Professions can be closed shops and professional training can be a tick box exercises or worse still a statistical online algorithm driven pass fail quota.

Perhaps one day we’ll have an NVQ Level 3  in Brain Surgery .

Still a Professional with a passion for whatever field they are in are worth their weight in precious metal
