Profession
A profession is a specialized work function within a society.
A profession is always held by a person, and it is generally that person's way of generating income. Some historians believe that the foundation of modern civilization is division of labour into different professions, thus increasing the level of expertise held by professionals. 'Profession' is very often restricted to include only those occupations requiring extensive study, such as law, medicine or engineering.
