I remember one of my professors saying that a profession is a vocation that requires a formal period of education. There needs to be tests of competency during or after the period of education to prove the candidate is competent to perform the duties involved. This is the traditional definition of a profession. The only way I can foresee why people would agree that porn is a profession is because they are using the term differently.
If we take that view then many occupations can't be considered a profession, as has been mentioned before in this thread.
