Piping up with a side note, but that depends on what you're doing. When it comes to writing, for example, that used to be the case. Nowadays, with self-publishing becoming more and more popular, it really just depends on whether or not you're publishing with a house, and sometimes, not even then. It's very easy to be a "professional" author by self-publishing through Amazon or the plethora of other sites out there that just assume you're working with a freelance proofreader. Meanwhile, a lot of fanfiction authors work with beta readers, and the beta readers, being people who do their job just because they feel passionate about writing/the characters/what-have-you, tend to be just as thorough as professional proofreaders (who are only doing their work out of the sake of a paycheck). So in that sense, amateur and professional are actually on equal footing these days.

Admittedly, I'm not certain about any other industry and how they compare to their fandom counterparts.

Self-publishing is as amateur as it comes, really. And even fic that's been beta-read is also damn near unreadable most of the time, because the beta-reader's just as bad at spelling/grammar as the author.

You're going to have to define "professional," then, because I'm not sure I understand your point without the distinction made clear. To me, professional means that it's basically your job - that is, you get paid for your goods/services on a somewhat steady basis - which means that self-publishing is still professional. Self-publishing also still considered a means of professional publishing according to, well, professional publishers.

* Self-publishing is also still considered...

(Derp. Maybe this publishing student should learn to proofread her comments.)
