What is a career?

An interesting look at the many ways to define "Career", from Google.com.

Google definitions: Career

I especially like this one,

"move headlong at high speed; "The cars careered down the road"; "The mob careered through the streets"".

Sometimes a career can feel exactly like that.

There are also some more inclusive definitions. Here is one I lean towards myself,

"The sum total of your life experiences including education, paid and unpaid work, and community, volunteer and family activities.""

As you can see, a career can be defined in any number of ways, but more importantly it is up to you to define it for yourself. Your career and your understanding of your career is a personal, subjective definition that only you can define.

What does career mean to you? Add a comment here to let other readers see your definition.
