Can You Tell If Somebody is a Professional By the Type of Pen He Uses?

LOL~~~I haven't noticed this detail.Give me some time to consider . Oh ,perhaps you are right ,now I am a student and the fact is I prefer to use ball pen while my boyfrind who is a technician use a Parker that is a metal pen.

Really?! I'm already a working professional but I still use a pen with plastic containers. Haha! I don't think you can tell that just because of the type of pen the person is using. There could be some students with rich parents who have metal pens for all you know it.

i think its such a shallow way of categorizing people. my boss has been a professional and had established himself as a doctor in the states and here in Oman but he uses this cheap pen... when asked why, he will just say because it writes better!... its true that professional can actually afford such expensive pens that may be the reason behind it... for me, as long as it writes good, i dont mind even if its those plastic pens or even a giveaway from a store... :)

I see this as an extremly shallow way to look at someone. A student can just as easily buy a pen that a professional might use. Furthremore someone who buys an expensive pen rather than using a regular pen that does the same job might be trying to compensate for something, perhaps their lack of abilities.

I'm a student but i use a parker inkpen. :D The only thing the pen says is, you made enough money to buy it. Though i must say parker ink pens are really worth the buy, they're better than your average inkpens, even though 5 times as costly. Most pros use ink pen, and that too one with a metal body. Its true. The toppers in my class all use metal pens :D
