To me professional only means you get paid for doing the job.
If you've been in business for many years, you must be good at the job. Length of time in business has always been more impressive to me than the mere fact that you charge for your services. Anybody can hang a price tag. You have to provide satifactory service to build a good reputation to stay in business.
And as tecoyah said, if others who do the same job as you ask you for advice or opinion, then you're an expert. Which is why I suspect a lot of the news channel's "experts" are self-described and not really expert.
