No. Usually, a "pro" makes a living from his work, an amateur does not. It
has nothing to do with skill, creativity, etc. Many amateurs are more
skilled than pros, they simply choose to do something else for a living,
sometimes because they like the freedom of shooting whatever they like
rather than being given an assignment.
Be seeing you.
