Task 1. Read and translate the text
CAREER
A career is an individual's metaphorical "journey" through learning, work and other
aspects of life. There are a number of ways to define a career and the term is used in a
variety of ways.
The word career is defined by the Oxford English Dictionary as a person’s “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 individual's life, learning and work.
Career is also frequently understood to relate to the working aspects of an individual's
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,
and is considered to be a person’s lifework. 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
education”.
Career success is a term used frequently in academic and popular writing about
career. It refers to the extent and ways in which an individual can be described as
successful in his or her working life so far.
Many observers argue that careers are less predictable than they once were, due to the
fast pace of economic and technological change. This means that career management
is more obviously the responsibility of the individual rather than his or her employing
organisation, because a “job for life” is a thing of the past. This has put more emphasis
on subjective criteria of career success. These include job satisfaction, career
satisfaction, work-life balance, a sense of personal achievement, and attaining work
that is consistent with one's personal values. A person's assessment of his or her career
success is likely to be influenced by social comparisons, such as how well family
members, friends, or contemporaries at school or college have done.
The amount and type of career success a person achieves is affected by several forms
of career capital. These include social capital (the extent and depth of personal contacts
a person can draw upon), human capital (demonstrable abilities, experiences and
qualifications), economic capital (money and other material resources which permit
67
access to career-related resources), and cultural capital (having skills, attitudes or
general know-how to operate effectively in a particular social context).
The common problem that people may encounter when trying to achieve an education
for a career is the cost. The career that comes with the education must pay well enough
to be able to pay off the schooling. The benefits of schooling can differ greatly
depending on the degree (or certification) obtained, the programs the school may offer,
and the ranking of the school. Sometimes, colleges provide students more with just
education to prepare for careers. It is not uncommon for colleges to provide pathways
and support straight into the workforce the students may desire.
Much career support is delivered face-to-face, but an increasing amount of career
support is delivered online.

Discussion
• What do you think makes people choose one profession over another? Vocation?
Academic results? Family influence? Market needs?
• How many people do you know who work in the profession of their choice?
• Some people follow their parents' lead in choosing a profession. Are there any
professions in which you think this is more frequent? Do you know of any cases?
• Are certain careers in your country dominated by men or women? If so, why do you
think this is?
• Do you know anybody who has started studying for a particular university degree
and has later changed to another? How frequent do you think it is? Why do you think
people do so?

• Do you know anybody who has led a successful career in one field and then suddenly
