Quote - If I were paid for one project how would I view myself? A very poor pro :) or an amateur that had been paid for a project? lol.

Being a professional is more than just being paid for your efforts - it's making your living from it.

Lots of amateurs and hobbyists make the odd dollar here and there from their endeavours. But your profession is your livelihood, and only when you make your living from an activity can you truly call yourself a professional. As others have said though: that doesn't necessarily make you more skilled than an amateur.

I'm a professional photographer. I make a living from it.

It's quite likely that I'll be giving that up to do something else soon, because I'm fickle and want to try other things. If I do move on to something else, I'll no longer consider myself a professional photographer - just an amateur. I will, however, still have all the skills I had when I was a pro :-)
