Not saying that trades people aren't professional and work with professionalism.
But there's a common understanding of the noun professional as the upper tier White collar jobs.
accountants lawyers doctors etc
Anything that starts with 'there's a lot to unpack ' is going to be mental gymnastics communicated in a patronizing tone to defend someone's ego.
Just wanted to say I agree with all of your points and think it does tech a disservice to treat it like a blue collar job instead of a profession but at the same time the lack of professional strictness has led to alot of rapid innovation.
So it's hard to tell what's right.
