We all have our areas of specialty (and choice). Brain surgeons don't do heart surgery but they are both MDs. Part of the art of being a "professional" is knowing the limits of your expertise and either doing something to increase that or knowing when to refer the work out. Part of having a successful enterprise is being able to-or having to, for that matter-choose what you want to work on and what you don't. I make those decisions every week and often pass on work to others that I know are appreciative. I don't think it compromises my professionalism.
