You're a wedding DJ .. a professional one with a certain amount of experience and hopefully success. It's the experience and success as well as your innate abilities that will differentiate you .. there is no title conveyed.
Professional Question
- Thread starter ittigger
- Start date
I've come up with an alternative definition of "professional":
If you did NOT sit on your fat ass all week watching TV, and relying on your spouse to pay the bills -- you might be a professional.
If you spend all your income/profit buying gear -- you are probably NOT a professional.
If you use TurboTax to file your income taxes, you are probably NOT a professional.
If your mother in law is asked what you do for a living, and she says "Oh, he's a DJ" -- yer probably NOT a professional.
Ok, now everybody post their "professional" DJ resumes... xf

I have two Businesses. 1.Art Dealer/Broker/Consultant/Framing Services/Installer plus 2. DJ/KJ/Sound Reinforcement. Warren Buffet has many, is he less than professional?
You are twisting my words again, nowhere did I state that a person has to be focused on one area or one business to be a professional.

I like titles and am offended when i am grouped into the same class of DJ that does 25 events a year.

Houston may not say you have to be focused in one area but i disagree. You choose a profession and you put your passion and time into it anything else is a hobby.
In other professions, there is seniority, so as mentioned, you are welcome to use "Senior DJ", just as we have senior/junior senators/representatives.
Nah, he wishes But I did remember Rob this morning with a guy waking with a man purse into the hospital. Guy thought he was a metrosexual trying to impress but the man purse had me ROFLMAO!!!

Not always. You are always looking for a definitive yes or no. There are countless veteran professional entertainers that by someone's opinion have and still suck. It can take minutes or years to become both a failure or a success.
P.S. : Unless you can definitively and totally disprove that statement. We are at an impasse.

Oh no, the dreaded impasse!

Mine too! I won't be debating it any further. In fact, this same discussion can be found in the archives from the last time it was spawned.
I'm just addicted to logic I guess.
