Sociology
Definition of semi-professions
SEMI-PROFESSIONS: Differ from professions in that their members are overwhelmingly employed by bureaucracy (though increasing numbers of professionals are employed in such organizations as well), it is not often a terminal profession, and they lack specialized knowledge (such as law or medicine): Semi-professions lack the power, latitude on the job, and prestige of full professions, they also lack the compensation: Examples would include teachers, social workers, nurses and other occupations dominated by females—and many would say it is this latter characteristic that determines their status as semi-professions
