Career is defined by the Oxford English Dictionary as a persons course or progress through life (or a distinct portion of life). In this definition career is understood to relate to a range of aspects of an individuals life, learning and work. Career is also frequently understood to relate only to the working aspects of an individuals life e.g. as in career woman. A third way in which the term career is used to describe an occupation or a profession that usually involves special training or formal education,[1] and is considered to be a person’s lifework.[2] In this case a career is seen as a sequence of related jobs usually pursued within a single industry or sector e.g. a career in law or a career in the building trade. The etymology of the term comes from the m. French word carriere (16 c.) (road, racecourse) which, in turn, comes from the Latin word (via) cararia (track for wheeled vehicles) which originated from the Latin word carrus which means wagon.
