What makes a kiltmaker professional?

[Barb T]

Here's an interesting comparison. My husband was a level three EMT on a volunteer basis for many years, and he and his colleagues were always irritated when people made the distinction between professional EMTs and volunteer EMTs. They argued that they were just as well trained and just as professional as the volunteers and that the distinction should be between volunteer professional and paid professional EMTs.

I'll agree that there isn't a one-to-one analogy with kiltmaking, but I would certainly not require someone to make his/her primary living from kiltmaking in order to be considered a professional.
