Question
A profession is an economic activity involving the provision of a personal service of a specialised nature. All the following features describe a profession, EXCEPT:
A. Main motive is to make a profit
B. Regulated by a professional body
C. Charges a fee for services rendered
D. Mandatory acquisition of a special knowledge and skill
E. Subject to discipline for breach of the code of conduct of the regulatory body
Answer
A. Main motive is to make a profit
Explanation: This option is incorrect because the primary motive of a profession is not to make a profit but to provide a specialized service based on knowledge and skill, guided by ethical standards and regulated by a professional body. Profit may be a consequence, but it is not the main driving force as it is in typical businesses.
