Beware of "Professionals" and their advice.......

I feel I need to clarify something for the average person who may be fooled by someone's title. The definition of a "Professional" is someone who gets paid for doing something. Whether or not their any good at it is a crapshoot. The definition of an "Expert" is someone who is very good at doing something whether or not he or she gets paid for it. For example-the 19 year old college girl that works at Autozone for $8.25 per hour who doesn't know where the jack is on the Honda her dad bought her is a professional auto parts person. So is Vic Edelbrock. They both sell auto parts for a living right?  Who would you rather ask about what camshaft to put in your small-block Chevy racing engine?  The 16 year old boy that flips burgers at McDonalds is a professional cook. So is Emeril LaGrasse. The 18 year old boy that delivers pizza for Domino's is a professioanl driver. So is Dale Earnhardt Jr.  The 75 year old man that checks your bag and receipt when your leaving Wal-Mart is a professioanl security guard. So are the Secret Service agents guarding the White House. The guy who sings and plays guitar at your local bar on Friday night is a professioanl musician. So is Kid Rock. See the point I'm making?  Conversely-an "Amateur" middleweight Golden Gloves boxer who had 100 fights and won 95 of them would certainly be considered an "expert" fighter even though he never got paid for doing it. A macho jerk that has 6 months training and has entered 10 MMA "Cage" fights and lost 4 of them while getting paid $100 a bout is a "Professional" fighter. His friends are shocked when the "Amateur" he challenges to a fight destroys him in a minute and a half.  I think you get the point-before you spend your hard-earned money following some "Pro's" advice-find out how much experience he has and what level of "Professional" success he's had. Nick Saban who's won multiple national Collegiate Championships coaching at LSU and Alabama and once coached the Miami Dolphins in the NFL and makes 5 million bucks a year is a professional football coach. So is the history teacher clown that coaches your son's JV team for an $800 stipend for the season that's gone 1-8 the last five years. They both get paid for coaching right? Their both "Professionals" right?  Mastermind
