I may be not qualified to give any judgement on this matter, but I happen to know (and have played together with) various young hornists who consider themselves as "professionals" though to my ears they are not so good. They also use to complain about the number of available music jobs and the fairness of auditions. They won't play without some payment.
Then I would ask: why one should pay in order to listen to a mediocre musician? I'm quite content of being an amateur: I just enjoy myself, bear no responsibility...
