Engineering as a profession

Profession can be described as a concept which has different properties from occupation which does not depend on knowledge and special skills. Professional is opposite of amateur who work or do something for only pleasure. However, a professional person earn money when they work. Moreover, to have profession, people must be educated at academic level.
There are a lot of professions such as profession of doctor, profession of lawyer etc. One example pf profession is engineering. Engineering has some contradictions with the firms they work because of the difference of the attitute to the events in professional life. William Kornhause explains reasons of this contradiction with four points:
1) Aims
2) Controls
3) Encuragement
4) Affection
In conclusion, "engineering as a profession" tells me the job of engineers in work life, and engineers are people who have academic education which gives them different point of view. Therefore these people have some contradictions in their work life. And also, an otjer proffesions, engineering has some ethics such as being reliable, having responsibility etc.
