The term is used more than one way. To some it only means that
you get paid (hopefully well paid) to do what you do, but it has little
do with the quality of your work, or what kind of attitude you have.
Sadly a lot of union people have this perspective. Non-union people
usually don't last very long with this approach.
While others think of it in the context of professionalism, and feel
that it is all about doing quality work, and having a good work
attitude and ethic. You don't even have to make any money to
be professional in the way you accomplish work you do.
The best of both worlds is when you can put the two together.
