How to use career in a sentence?
Andrew Grove, Co-founder and Chairman of Intel Corporation, Only the Paranoid Survive:
The sad news is, nobody owes you a career. Your career is literally your business. You own it as a sole proprietor. You have one employee: yourself. You need to accept ownership of your career, your skills and the timing of your moves.
Obviously my career didn't end in the fashion that I wanted it to, at the same time, I've had an incredibly long career, 18 seasons. I've had back issues predominantly throughout my career and so when you have that in perspective, I could have very easily been finished eight, nine or 10 years into my career.
I don't feel that sense of urgency ... it's something I really would love to do is complete the career grand slam, i'm in the best shape I've been in. I've always felt a long golf swing -- a long, smooth, flowing swing -- leads to a long career, and a short, violent swing leads to a short career.
One of the biggest challenges is, do I leave my career or do I leave my husband ? at different points of my career, I have left my career. A couple times, me and my husband have lived apart, at one point three years apart while he was on back-to-back deployments. It's very difficult if you have to choose.
Funny business, a woman's career the things you drop on the way up the ladder so you can move faster. You forget you'll need them again when you get back to being a woman. It's one career all females have in common, whether we like it or not being a woman. Sooner or later, we've got to work at it, no matter how many other careers we've had or wanted.
