Examples are law, medicine, finance, the military, nursing, the clergy and engineering. Classically, there were only four professions: the church, the military, medicine, and law.

In modern usage, professions tend to have certain qualities in common. A profession is always held by a person, and it is generally that person's way of generating income. Membership in the profession is usually restricted and regulated by a professional association. For example, lawyers regulate themselves through a bar association and restrict membership through licensing and accreditation of law schools. Hence, professions also typically have a great deal of autonomy, setting rules and enforcing discipline themselves. Professions are also ...

Traditionally, a cooper is someone who makes wooden barrels, casks, buckets and other similar wooden objects. The word is derived from cupa, the Latin word for vat. Cask making is referred to as cooperage. A barrel is technically a measure of the size of a cask, so the term "barrel-maker" cannot be used synonymously with "cooper" as it is incorrect. In addition, the facility in which casks are made is referred to as a cooperage. Sometimes—in more modern times—the profession of the cooper is specific to wineries, where the cooper would ...
