For those of us that have a trade or profession, if a friend or family member needs help or advice with something relating to your expertise/livelyhood, do you help them out?

Just curious. Reason being, that something came up recently with a group of buds. One bud is an architect, and another friend asked him for some advice on something. He refused to help him for nothing. It wasnt anything major, just a opinion on a renovation. He said he worked too hard to get his degree, to just freely give out his "work".

Basically the rest of us told him he was being a total dick. We were all pretty pissed at him. I'm in the electrical field as my main livelyhood. If someone asked me for help with something electrical or the like, I wouldnt hesitate to help them.

Whats your opinion on this??
