Typically, 'Professional' Hackers makes their own Tools, like ... they will never use Metasploit or whatever, they uses their own tool-kits, and exploits. For an example - AIRCRACK-NG can be made in Python with the scapy library, most of the SKIDS uses Armitage and Metasploit-framework, beef and Aircrack-ng, slowloris too to take down sites. Professional Hackers or Ethical Hackers typically will program a tool in python, C++ (exploits for shellcodes and stuff), I really prefer Python in-front of any programming language..

Professional hackers can be found in-any Government Agencies like: CIA, FBI, NSA, MI-5 and all-other. The difference between Script kiddies and Ethical Hackers is that - Script Kiddies uses Ethical Hacker's tool-kits and immitate ethical hackers( i think thats how is being spelled) The script kiddie is always a Lame person who is unskilled and doesn't have any kind of knowledge about Networking and Programming...
Ethical hacker can be - Technical Engineer, Government Agent, Soldier and IT Specialist
