I guess it's generally acceptable as a laid back alternative to "you're welcome" in everyday life.
In a professional setting, however, saying "no problem" translates to "Dude, I'm still just a kid so this is the best way I know how to say you're welcome." So if you ever have a job where you regularly talk to clients that spend a lot of money on your services you'll quickly learn not to say "no problem" when they thank you.

Oh yeah derp, I meant that's what I say when I'm holding the door for someone and they say "Thanks" like out on the street. I'm not even in a professional environment yet, but I'll probably be more formal when I am.
