No offense, Mark, but that's simply not what a profession is. Skydiving is an avocation that requires advanced education and training. However, skydiving is not a profession, in itself. There are plenty of people who do it on weekends just for the fun of it. In fact, I think most people who do it fall (no pun intended!!) into this category. Additionally, trash collecting -- while an important and worthwhile profession -- does not require any advanced education or training. So a profession cannot be an avocation or profession which requires advanced training or education.
Officiating is not a profession for 95% of the people who participate in it. Period.
