The only sense in which a profession is "greater" than an occupation is in how much training is required in the former. Otherwise, being a doctor does not make you better than being a self-made entrepreneur.

While in general society occupation and profession are used interchangeably, they do have different meanings. A "profession" is a paid occupation, especially one that involves prolonged training and a formal qualification while an "occupation" is a person's usual or principal work or business, especially as a means of earning a living. An occupation can sometimes be a profession, but a profession is always an occupation.
Yeah if you go back a few pages you'll see I said the same thing.

It can't just be a statement of fact? I am Jewish by descent, but can neither speak nor understand Hebrew (I can sound out the words but usually have no idea what the fuck I'm reading). I'm not proud of any sort of ignorance on my part, but on the other hand, there's only so much time in a given day.
My question can't be born from natural curiosity?
8000 years before Jesus, the Egyptian god Horus said, "I am the way, the truth, the life."
