Crossroads

I wouldn't say that Lookout is seeking to 'change careers halfway through' so much as considering a new career, having already had a very successful one. It's very unusual these days for people to have a single career in their lives: indeed we may want to revise what we mean by that word. Does career mean the overall trajectory of your working life, incorporating the various different paths you take? Or does it specifically mean each employment path that you take?

My mum had a clerical career until she was in her thirties then felt she'd got as much out of that as she wanted to and began a career in the NHS. Did she have two careers? Or did she have a career that consisted of two separate and different stages?
