This is in SK? You posted above the teachers weren't professionals but yet you use one as a source of information. That doesn't make much sense IMO.
And as an American, IMO you're off base on how folks in the U.S. use professional. Maybe that came from those unqualified SK teachers getting big heads and calling themselves professionals.
A field of endeavor (endeavour in case you don't understand) such as the law, medicine, the clergy, accounting (CPAs) are what usually people mean by professional. It is also used to show a distinction in fields that have many amateur practitioners, e.g., golf.

Let's back up.
I am a qualified Teacher with a degree in English/History and a degree in Education and I belong to the college of teachers. Thus I am a professional teacher. I can teach at public schools pretty much around the world. In South Korea, they hire people without teaching degree to teach English (usually private schools who care about money not education). They want a white body in the room. South Korea cracked down and demands a degree in something preferably English. This makes sense because there probably aren't enough fully qualified teachers willing to go to South Korea and often the job doesn't demand what most teachers have to actually do. Standing in front of a class delivering a lesson is merely the tip of the job's iceberg and SK often only demands the tip.
I never said you only needed to take a professional teacher's word for something. I was on a military base - I liked a girl - one of the other people around me who knew her told me about her position. She told me she was a sniper. If I got marine and seal confused or it was related to me incorrectly I call this a minutia irrelevant point. Her rank is about a billion miles away from the point I was making. It's like a guy who makes 100 logical points about a given argument and is wrong about one point that is rather irrelevant and the other side wants to chuck the other 99 arguments away because of one mistake. These people tend to be morons.
Not sure we disagree on the term professional. The point I made was this - just because you earn a living at something doesn't mean you are a professional.
There are lots of professional bodies - if you belong to one you're a professional. Amateur and professional in sports is slightly different but a professional athlete earns a living at it but also belongs to a union which can boot the individual out of the sport for wrongdoing.
The point of all of this is about reviewers. Anyone can slap some sentences together and write a review - whether a movie review or amplifier reviewer. He might even make money on it - but he's not a professional because he does this or happens to be buddies with a guy who decided to give him a reviewing job. I am a teacher and an audio equipment reviewer. I am a professional teacher because i belong to a professional body of teachers and I have professional development. As a reviewer I call myself a reviewer who acts in a professional way.
Doctors work hard for their doctorates - and they deserve their titles. So do people who belong to professions.
I am sorry if I lumped Americans into using the term this way but I get the sense that many in America seem to associate money with being a professional. If you make money no matter what you are a professional. Kind of like some who associate money with being a harder worker or being happy or successful. All of which may have correlations but are not defining characteristics.
RGA, you are truly full of crap! The more you post the worse it gets. You are a right-fighter who is continuously digging the hole that he's burying himself in deeper and deeper.
I don't give a flyin' f**k about your "professional" hangups, the bulls**t stories that you tell in your lame attempts to cover up your lies and mistakes, or your thinly disguised jabs at Americans. Your diatribes radiate an inferiority complex that's second to none.
I see you as a "professional" indoctrinator! A hired hand that really has no business calling himself a teacher. I don't believe that any REAL teacher or educator would admit to belonging in the same "profession" as you.
Stop acting like a cranky little sissy. Stop your lame attempts at justifying yourself. And above all quit using the military to reference your silly bulls**t stories. That would be the right thing to do for both your safety and dignity.
