Some of the previous discussion is embedded in another issue starting here: #280 (comment)

1. This issue is offering a proposal for a new Type called http://schema.org/Profession
   which would be different from a Person, or a Job Title or a Business name.
2. And also a proposal for new properties where the new Profession Type can be utilized.

This proposal stems from some use case confusion between 3 Types of entities, where there is a need to have a more clear way to distinctly Type something as a Person, a Profession, and a Organization:

• Person ("Sanjay Gupta M.D.")
  • Profession ("Physician")("Neurosurgeon")("Doctor")("Media Reporter")
  • Organization ("Sanjay Gupta M.D". - a Private Practice - within Grady Memorial Hospital in Atlanta, Georgia)
  • Job Title ("Chief Neurosurgeon")
• Person ("Harold Smith")
  • Profession ("Plumber")
  • Organization ("Smiths Plumbing")
  • Job Title ("Master Plumber")

Some existing Profession's already exist as subtypes under our http://schema.org/LocalBusiness like
http://schema.org/Dentist
http://schema.org/RealEstateAgent
http://schema.org/Electrician
http://schema.org/Attorney

Other Professions are under MedicalOrganization , MedicalBusiness, Store, etc such as
http://schema.org/Physician
http://schema.org/Florist

This issue will also track the need to absorb the proposed Profession Type as a property under various existing Types ensuring it aligns at least with
https://schema.org/ProfessionalService
https://schema.org/JobPosting
https://schema.org/LocalBusiness (and its subtypes)
https://schema.org/Person (a new property, separate from jobTitle)
and possibly other Types that we might have missed during a 1st pass review.
