Traditionally, a career meant the work one did over a lifetime. It was how people identified themselves. In today's environment, people have several careers and work for several organizations over a lifetime. However, as technology, industries, and professions blend, we may go back to defining career as the work of a lifetime because everything in between will be so intertwined. No longer will we be architects but rather "bioarchs," not CPAs but accounting engineers, not teachers but learning evolutionists, and so on, as work constantly morphs over a career. In part, how you perceive your career can be defined by how you answer the question, "What am I?" or "Who am I?" "I'm a doctor, a carpenter, a salesperson, or service technician." "I work for Threadbare tires." "I'm a banker." "I'm a writer." As these self-assessments evolve over a lifetime, so do the careers that define them. If your answer is "I worked 26 years for, " then your career is more likely defined in terms of the organization than as a series of professional identities.
