Professional fits just fine.

Well no, not until you tell me. ;-)

But the question here is a perfectly plain and simple one. Here are
definitions of the terms from Onelook.

Occupation: the principal activity in your life that you do to earn money

Profession: any type of work which needs special training or a particular
skill, often one which is respected because it involves a high level of
education
