ANNOTATED OUTLINE
The concept of career
A career comprises of a series of work related activities, that offer continuity, order and meaning to a persons life.

The underlying idea behind a career is that a person can shape his destiny through a number of well planned and well timed, positive steps.

The success of ones career, therefore, depends on the individual more than anything else.

Mid-career: Between 35 and 50 one is typically confronted with a plateaued career, where your maturity and experience are still valued but there is the nagging feeling of having lost the initial fire in the belly Late career: This is the stage where one relaxes a bit and plays an elderly role, offering advice to younger ones as to how to avoid career mistakes and grow continually. Decline: This is the stage where one is constantly reminded of retirement, after a series of hits and misses.
