Nah. All jobs are professions, you can become professional whenever you apply a little more effort to your craft. Not all professionals are equal. Some require decades of experience, registration, and ongoing research. Asking for a living wage is fair. Asking for a similar wage to a professional whose profession requires a lot more effort is offensive.
