A career is the journey of an individual through learning, work and other aspects of life. There are a number of ways to define a career and the term is used in a variety of ways. The word career is defined by the Oxford English Dictionary as "course or progress of a person through life (or a different part of life)". In this definition, the career is understood to relate to a number of aspects of an individual's life, learning and work. It is also often understood that career is related to the work aspects of an individual's life, as in career women. A third way in which the term career is used to describe an occupation or a profession that usually involves special training or formal education, and is considered to be a work of a person's life. In this case, "a career" is seen as a sequence of related jobs usually carried out within a single industry or sector, "a career in education" or "a career in construction".
