  6. Pro. Sounds like what it means to be a complete G. Success. I can just imagine myself walking through the halls of Quicken Loans this summer learning how to do things better to become more of a professional.

  9. A job in life, what you want to be, is something professional. It is what you like to do and what you have wanted to do for a while. Professional is when you have to act proper and do what is expected of you. How you act depends on how professional you are.

  10. You let your fingers drum nervously on the fake wood desktop. Everything in the office around you is fake–from the fake potted plant gathering dust in the corner to the fake smile plastered on the woman’s face before you. Her breifcase closes with an authoritative “click”, but that is where any semblance of professionality ends.
    “You know, I understand why you did it.”
    No, you don’t, you want to answer. If you did, then why am I here?

    She jabbers on blithely, and you resort to your usual defense mechanism: ignoring the sound of her voice and nodding occaisionally. It seems like the school guidence counselors are hell-bent on needlessly wasting yet another irreplacable hour of your time.

  11. when i think profesesional i think dudes in suits making lots of money, like success. then i question what success is.. i think it changes in different people’s perceptions.. your success is what you’re trying to reach in life, if you reach it, you succeed

  12. This word is often described as something everyone has to be like at work. Like, ” She walked into the conference room all professionally. Head held up high, and like she had the weight of her business on her back.”

  13. professional is something that you have to be an expert on. its neat, orderly and oh so hard to achieve. prosefsiality has come a long way because as time goes on, we all learn more and more about a specific subject we want to be educated in, to therefore become professional at it.

  14. Someone who knows what they are doing; someone who has done something for a long time; someone who rarely makes a mistake

  17. One day I want to be a professional. I want to a professional computer engineer. I Dream of the professional life and living with my wife and kids. This life is so appealing to me because I see myself fitting in well in a position where I have a purpose. I cant wait to be a professional.

  18. This is the essential of capitalist bullshit, the american dream. It’s always a front. No one really wants to be so fake and empty.

  19. I consider myself to be a professional. I haven’t graduated high school or even decided where I am going to college. But I can say that I am a professional at loving someone. I love with my whole heart and I’m not afraid to show it.

  20. Young professionals at HBCO. Going to connect w/ Jaisen. Working downtown with that motherfucker. Realizing damned quickly I don’t want to be a lawyer.

    Got to look young and professional, right? What the hell does “professional” look like? What does it mean as an adjective? Men and women in suits, hemmed in and unable to move freely?

    Professionals never curse, goddammit!

  22. To be a proffesional? I guess it means you’re specifically skilled at one thing. You can be a professional in happiness or feelings. No one really thinks about that. More likely to think about sports or business. I like to think being a profesional is to be happy with something you’re good at. I could be called a professional at music if you wanted me to be…

  23. a suit. a briefcase. a degree on the wall. these things come to mind when you hear the word, ‘professional’. but what about someone who is a professional at being kind? or loving their dog? or making paper cranes? i think these kinds of professionals are just as important.

  24. her hair was pulled back, taught against the mini pins tangling her hair into a professional bun, her glasses were black to mirror her heart and only within her eyes can you find an ounce of the one-child, the once-dreamer, the once- loved.

  25. Professional? Who the hell chose the word professional? That is the most boring word of them all. A bunch of professionals lined up in cubicles in their neatly ironed black or navy suits. No fun. The word should be life changers.

  27. She was professional. Or something. What she meant was she wore business suits and watched CNN if nothing better was on. She pretended to read the NY Times while she sipped on a coffee she didn’t like. That is professional right?

  28. A true professional does not simply write for the sake of putting words to paper. A professional endeavours to do more than to earn a living by his craft. A professional is one who recognizes the importance in telepathic communication via the written word. The importance of communicating complex ideas, events and feelings that will shift the current paradigm to hopefully a much better one.

  30. everyone wants to be a professional.
    we all want to be good at something.
    you get rich, or you become known as a professional- it sounds like you’ve done something with your life.

    I fear this word- its an expectation I have no idea if I can live up to.

  31. “Don’t question me on this,” I replied, indignant.
    Marcus swiveled back in his chair, smiling smugly back in my direction. We had been deliberating the potential invalidity of my “sort of” career: songwriting. I had never exactly been successful in selling any of my work, so Marcus was always insistent that in no way did my skill-set mark me as a “professional” by any means.
