Professional, to me, means that you are paid to do it. Not that it constitutes the majority of your income.
A good many people in the USA work two jobs. It would be fallacious to say that their second jobs makes them not a professional at it. (Indeed, how many professional models, actors, comedians, etc. joke that they aren't going to quit their day job?) It would especially be fallacious to argue that a 2-job worker is not a professional at either because neither job constitutes a "majority" share of the income.
