Why is being paid to do something considered an indication of one's excellence?
Surely it only indicates that one is useful to someone else, nothing more.
For an amateur it is a labour of love, and is therefore as good as it can be, not as good as is necessary for one's paymasters
Far less, being professional opens up the possibility that one's skills can be bought, thereby casting aspersions on one's credibility.
but according to big brother, professional=good
amateur=bad

he said 'he is not a professional historian', not 'he is unprofessional'.

Mark is as professional as it gets!! Love all your lectures Mark!!!

P... Professional? Now im not trying to pick an arguement over this...
But anyone who can stand infront of people talking about the past, putting their own thoughts and opinions of the matter into it. AND making them laugh about it?
I fail to see what is unprofessional about that.

Excellent. Mark Steel - given that he is not a professional historian - talks a lot of sense.

I wish he would've mentioned Saint-Just, my favorite figure in the French Revolution.
if history had been taught like that at school i may have actualy learned something
