Is a classroom assistant classes as a professional job!

[tulpops]

If you were talking about a C/A or filling out a form, would you describe as being a professional job?

No

No.

No

Nope

No, no professional qualifications or certification required.

No. Teacher, yes.

No

No definitely not

No, a "professional" job is one where you've taken exams/qualifications and have approved experience, to join a "professional" body.

No.

No, I think I would put it in with administration type roles.

It depends on the context. For example, no, if it’s a question on a job application. If it is for an application to rent a house then I would answer yes. As the question has a slightly different meaning.

No it’s not a profession.

Oh gosh I’m in the minority then as I’d say yes. I think it’s a hugely underrated and important job.

No, it’s not a profession! The fact that someone is even asking this… 🙄

I think typically if it requires a degree/masters/PHD or nationally recognised specific industry qualifications then it would be classed as a professional job.

It is very important, as are many other jobs, but it's not a profession.

So are lots of other jobs, that also aren't professions

It is a hugely valuable and under valued job role, but a TA wouldn't be classed as a professional role.
Teachers, educational roles requiring degree/post graduate level qualifications would be.

This. While not professional in terms of pay or required qualifications, a lot of rental listing ask for 'young professionals' and it would be fine to describe yourself as such for this purpose.

No. A professional job is one that you have to have a qualification in

No but doesn't impact its worth.

I agree that for renting I would tick that box.

It is yes but that's not the same thing.

Complicated. It doesn't have the pay or status usually associated with professional jobs (rightly or wrongly!). But TAs are presumably DBS checked so in terms of being a ref for a passport application might count?

No. Generally speaking 'professional roles' are roles requiring at least undergraduate degrees and more usually specific qualifications eg accounting exams, hr qualification etc.

Massively important role but not the same thing
