Professions are a big part of designing your character, mainly because different professions have different bonuses. You may change your profession once every
month, but watch out when doing this. It's never easy for an Imperial officer or Pirate to just up and leave. Your ex-superiors wouldn't want all those
secrets loose. Add to this the fact that changing professions means having to learn a set of entirely new skills (which means you'll have to forfeit 50XP
to represent all the old skills that're no longer any use) and you can quickly see that it pays to avoid changing classes too often.
Professions do not necessarily tie your character down. Professions can represent more a style of play than an actual specific type of job. For example a smuggler could actually be either a rogue, a pirate, or a gangster depending on their style. A smuggler gangster might work more along the lines of an organization like Talon Kardde's, large and organized. Pirate smugglers might have a more aggressive stance as criminals for example ship thieves like Niles Ferrier. Rogues who are smugglers might be more independant with only a few trusted colleagues like Han Solo and Chewie.
Your profession also does not mean you have to be in any faction. You can have Gangster as your profession and still be in the Empire. You can even be an Imperial for your profession but in the rebel faction, though your bonus would be null except the initial experience bonus. Got it.

Many characters on Yoda's Yarns are also able to choose a secondary profession, though this comes at a cost of 50XP to represent the character having to learn an entirely new set of skills. The only characters who may not take a secondary class are Force Users and Military Officers, who have to focus too heavily on their primary profession.
