when reading houjseshare ads, what does "professional" mean?

Then, of course, there is the oldest profession in the world. Would that be ok?

That is what I would mean if I wanted a lodger. Rent would be very cheap, but enjoyable albeit for a few seconds.

No DSS and No students... is professional.

Basically, most estate agents are not the brightest bunch in the world. You know the sort that probably scraped 3 C's at GCSE's

I have 9 GCSE's, 4 A-Levels and an honours degree. Satisfied? Not all of us are the same.

Professional means working full time and earning a regular wage.

Oh dear you must be bad at interviews or something surely you can do better than being an estate agent! To be fair though saying you have 4 A-Levels doesn't really mean much, you could have 4 E's what did you get?

Professional in any worldly sense doesn't mean 'working full time and earning a regular wage' it just means that in estate agent bull to make out that the tenants are respectable. Professional clearly isn't defined definitively anywhere, but normally is defined along the line of jobs which require specialist post graduate training, such as Doctor, Dentist, Lawyer, Chartered Accountant, Teacher etc. Stacking the shelves at your local supermaket really doesn't make somebody a professional.

I always thought professional meant getting paid, ie the difference between a professional and amateur footballer, or golfer etc etc. Seeking a professional sounds better than "no Dss"
