 There are at least three dozen jobs in music industry, the necessary knowledge for using pd
involves at least half of those jobs, and we could virtually explore almost all of those jobs,
 I do believe you, no problemo...

 Ardour is a good example of a professional tool, because it supports professional audio hardware, 
the question about pd is biased because it does support most kind of hardware but the user still have to build
his own interface, so, professionalism doesn't come from pd only but from the immixtion of the tool and the user.
