Profession or Business?

HT to the WSJ Law Blog for pointing to an opinion by a federal judge that criticizes the legal community for focusing too much on making money and not enough on legal skill.

Although my time in the legal world has been brief, I couldn't agree more with the commenter who says this:

"The practice of law is a wonderful profession, yet a terrible business to be in."

I enjoy studying law and researching how the law impacts real life situations and truly believe I will enjoy practicing law after graduation next year (in fact, I can't wait to start meeting with and counseling clients on legal matters). But at the same time, I hate worrying about billing hours and am not sure how much I will enjoy the pressure to be a "rainmaker." I understand that business is part of the profession and I accept that. I just wish it was different.

I wonder how many other "professions" have similar feelings. Have all professions become businesses? Health care certainly looks like a business from the outside looking in. Even religious institutions look like this to me. Are there any true "professions" anymore, in the sense that the judge uses the word?
