That's because Medicine and Life Science exist. For the same reason you won't find profession (software designer) or profession (electrical engineer).

And yet, there are no rules for earning a living using medicine, computers, or engineering.

Outside of PFS there are.

Earn a Living, pg 146, core rulebook wrote:

At the GM’s discretion, you can use other skills (such as Computers or Engineering) to earn a living following the same guidelines.

But we ARE discussing Starfinder Society. So that does not matter.

As to the other point, I can see not allowing ELectrician (almost all checks would be covered by engineering), and Herbalist (As almost all checks would be covered by Life Science or Medicine). And BOTH of those are listed as allowable skills, yet Doctor, Nurse, Surgeon, Veterinarian, Pilot, and Computer Programmer are not.

Either skills that disallow certain professions need to be opened up for day jobs, or Profession rules need to be relaxed.

[BigNorseWolf]

Generally how I see it work is either the profession rolls are at a lower DC, or profession rolls have an inherent +4 bonus from the 20 credit profession tool kit.

["Dr." Cupi]

As far as I can tell there are no limitations on what you can have as a profession. I think that the overarching point of profession is that it is a separate skill that represents your vocation (and that earns you credits). I think it'd be well within the bounds to be a doctor, nurse, surgeon, veterinarian, pilot, computer programmer, electrician, or herbalist. Just key it to a reasonable mental stat.
