What Is the Difference Between a Professional Job and a Nonprofessional Job?
According to the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (
EEOC), a professional job requires a specific level of college education, typically a bachelor’s degree or higher, for someone to perform its duties and responsibilities. Examples of professional jobs include doctors, teachers, accountants, lawyers, scientists, and authors. According to the
EEOC, non-professional jobs include craftspeople, plumbers, electricians, installers, and food service workers or, in general, positions that primarily entail manual labor duties and trade skills learned through an apprenticeship or training program.
