true profession ... a thought without a logical end

My really good friend was trying to explain me what true professions are. I guess I never got to the end of explanation, but from what I've heard it was something like: "True professions are astronaut, lawyer... they cannot do anything else, they cannot be substituted." True, you have to be educated to fly to space. But what about everything else? As long as you do it with passion, you like it, you are effective, you are professional and what you are doing is a profession!
And as for true professions, I always thought that those are teachers, doctors and public transport drivers. Social life would be chaotic and dangerous without those.
