Whle I respect the effort to be come accomplished at something or even take the tests that maybe document what you know and hopefully are good at something but someone that insists they only want to associate with a "professional" sounds like a real self important snob who doesnot have a grasp that many people may not have the opportunites that they have been blessed with and might actually be a very good person who works hard and is quite good at what they do. That would be the very "attitude" that I would run not walk away from. Pretty much screams you are headed for misery with some ego maniac that will laud their superiority over you until you feel like dirt or want to choke them.
