I am not sure that I have covered this, at all or in this way, before – but the Inland Revenue's* classic division of occupations into Trade, Profession or Vocation brilliantly analyses the categories of occupation:

[[Text of ms rough diagram of which an extract is shown above:]

G~	VOCATION	+	PROFESSION	M~
		TRADE
		A~

[In the ms diagram of which an textual extract is shown above, the three categories are shown curved round the lower three-quarters of an invisible circle, and the central square cross extends to that perimeter.]

+C†I~** presumably has no occupation: he is the beginning and the end, Being*** not Becoming***

****

*[Principal UK direct taxation authority, now part of Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs. <20171013>]

**[which would be at at the top of the diagram, but is not shown.]

***[[{Initial capitalisation inserted later}]]

****My own Outer Circle progress, as it happens, has been precisely through Profession (The Law, Accountancy), Trade (Computerised Services, [Personal] Property Development) and Vocation (Decision to give priority to writing and what is behind/beyond writing). I am at Vocation now; I expect in due course to Trade again (in books etc.). What then?
