and Answers

"profession" are combined, what are the criteria for an occupation to be described as
a profession? - ....ANSWER☑️☑️...-One that exhibits a body of theory and specialized
knowledge, is service-oriented, and has a distinct subculture.
What is wrong with the position that any given broadly defined occupation is either a
profession or in not? - ....ANSWER☑️☑️...-That approach leads to such conclusion
as only doctors and not nurses are members of the medical profession and only
offers and not enlisted are professionals of the POA. The vast majority of
occupations and professions are distributed all along the great middle between the
two extremes. The characteristics which determine an occupation's place on the
Profession Continuum is not prestige or salary, but rather the three criteria. A century
or two ago only a few recognized professions existed (physician, professor, clergy,
etc.) and now there's no need for the vacuum tube changer in today's computer
systems (an important job only half a generation ago)
