Default Re: Where did Skill 12 = professional come from?

In reflection the professional skill is how one fares in maximum effective use of all relevant skills and then some. Its like making the other skills far greater than the sum of its parts.

A awesome bartender (profession-15) may have all his skills at 12 but his over all performance in his job would count more on the profession skill than just his individual skills.

Its like in Top Chef, a lot of chefs have Tons of other skills at roughly 12ish and up BUT its their professional ability to do and know all the things about being a Chef that dictates his career performance. Take them outside the kitchen (like in the reality show) then you notice their other skills are at unimpressive levels.
