Yeah, someone throwing the term "professional" around to me,
especially in this day when anyone can become a "professional
webmaster" by buying Sierra's web-editor, doesn't really mean jack.
I know a half dozen college kids (and I believe Jon said he was
still in school) who crank out crappy websites for friends or family
acquantances.
And then there are plenty of "professional" web designers designing
sites for mom & pop shops that don't know what good work is.
Professional is a word. And a job is just a job. I know lots of
stupid NT admins and webmasters, and very few good ones. Being paid
to do something doesn't mean you're good at it - your work proves
that.
