Max Weber believed that professionalization, bureaucratization, and rationalization are interconnected in society. He thought that becoming a professional is part of making society more organized and efficient. Weber also saw that being a professional and working in a bureaucratic system can go hand in hand. He understood that professions should be looked at from different angles like structure, process, and power. Weber's ideas about professions are still relevant today because he saw them as part of making society more rational. Unlike some other sociologists, he didn't focus only on doctors in private practice when thinking about professions.
