A timely quote following many peer discussions of a similar thread regarding the outwardly narrow view of our profession for career development. One conclusion was the hierarchical authoritarian nature of most social structures. This quote taken from a discussion on the USA based TechWrl (tech writers list):
What I’d like to know is who defined a “career” as necessarily having an upward mobility path? If you have a “job” that pays you well enough to satisfy your financial needs and enjoy enough to provide you with personal satisfaction, why isn’t staying in it and growing enough to keep you marketable in it for your entire working life not a “career?”
