Professions and Professional Development

A range of questions have been addressed here including: What is a profession and how is it best understood? What are the gains and losses when occupations are professionalised? What kind of education do professionals need, and how should responsibility for this education be distributed between universities and employers? What issues do these questions raise for the ethics of the professions?
