Is it too far off topic to have a discussion on this list (The Jobs list,
of course, I know nothing is off-topic for the community list)?
The question I have, based on a recent CF-Jobs thread, is how would you
define an expert?

[endsnipfromcfjoblist]
The difference between a professional and an amateur is that the
professional gets paid, and the amateur doesn't. However, that does not
take the quality of work into consideration. I've known professionals who
I've thought were clueless and amateurs who had huge wealths of knowledge.
So, I ask again, How do you define an expert?
I would say that an expert is someone who will do what it takes to get
the job done (sometimes asking for help is what it takes). I'd say that
anyone who is going out of their way to learn new things every day would
qualify as an expert. They may not know everything off the top of their
head, but they'll be able to find the answer.
(I think that reading the CF lists constitutes as self-education,
although it is definitely not the only way to educate yourself)
