13. Origin of the word
“career”
It comes from the Latin word carrus, meaning cart.
Over time, the word also came to mean “the track
the cart follows.” So your career is both the cart
carrying the events of your life and the track you’re
following.
William Bridges said, “Think of your career as a
journey that includes all the events in your life.”
