  1. You work few years and feel that you are professional already.
  2. Real life humbles you down to the point when you got depression and lost all your confidence (for years).
  3. You somehow continue learning and working and one day you feel that you probably can be considered as a professional in some specific area. Now you have the right and experience to be called a professional.

This process can take 5-10 years or so.

Sorry for mistakes, if any.
