[Trombone-l] Difference?

I would add ratio in as well.  If you're playing for money more often than for free, I would count that.  I do like the "having to take gigs" idea - pretty accure.

However, I'm sure the distinction is not really relevant.  A pro is someone who performs and behaves in a professional manner.
