Isn't electrician a 'trade' and those who practice it 'tradesmen'?

I wholeheartedly agree a tradesman can act professionally and do a professional job

I'm afraid , gentlemen, that we are merely Tradesmen . We look up to professionals but look down on unskilled workers.... we know our place . ( You have to be a certain age to get that quote)

I know its hard to believe but Apache is the professional.
