Are You ?Making a Living? Or ?Building a Career?
The definition of the word “career? today typically relates to the main stream of remunerative work we do through the course of our lives. If you think about the concept of career in terms of the history of mankind, its a strange little thing that has only been around for a couple of hundred years. It is an aberration.
It only arrived with the organisation of large corporations and, with the continual development of telecommunications and resulting decentralisation of workforces, who know how long it will continue to exist. If you are honest with yourself, you will see that all “career? ultimately describes is our progression through a list of skills and opportunities someone else has made available to us, where someone else is telling us where we fit in, and what our value is.
