Interesting how the word 'profession' has changed to simply mean any type of job. Originally, there were only about 3 professions, namely, IIRC, lawyers (and, presumably, solicitors), the clergy and the medical profession.
In a similar fasion, 'doing your job professionally' now seems to mean 'anything above doing your job incompetently'.
However, even by the modern definition, I'd argue that, by its very definition, 'volunteer rescuing' cannot be called a profession.
