What’s the difference between a Pro and a Semi-Pro (sports, music)?
In: Other
In sports, semi-pro means they get paid, but generally not enough to live on, and the schedules presume they work a second job. Semi-pros often have to provide their own equipment and transportation. There isn’t always a clear delineation between low-level professionals and semi-professionals.
I’ve not heard the term applied to musicians. You are usually considered a professional if you get paid and particularly if you have a release. The rest is a matter of degree.
