Profession, for sure. And if you don't believe me, just ask the people who keep the toilet paper flowing during a global pandemic. Now that's a superpower!

Hmm, I'm not sure about 'harmless activity'. Have you seen the chaos that can ensue when the supply chain breaks down? It's anything but harmless!

Definitely a profession, not just an academic subject or a harmless activity. CIPS wouldn't be a thing if it wasn't serious business!
