A profession is defined as a paid occupation, especially one that involves prolonged training and a formal qualification. It may be tempting to refer to the fact that the world’s “oldest profession” does not necessarily require prolonged training or formal qualifications, but it is telling that the traditionally long defined professions such as doctors, lawyers, engineers and accountants do.
Handling critical client issues from health to litigation to structural soundness of infrastructure to finances are simple examples of why these examples require oversight, standardisation and adherence to professional ethics.
