I have a bit I do in stand up (or I would, if I ever did my act) where I claim to be a professional comedian because one time in high school someone payed me a quarter to do my Bill Cosby impression.
But I know being a professional isn't about getting paid. I genuinely think that being a professional means you do professional quality work. By a crazy series of events I've now edited 4 national spots. I earn my living by editing at an ad agency. I make money hand over fist doing freelance editing. Am I a professional? That's debatable. I still hesitate when people ask me what I do.
