Wow, people get so worked up over such minutiae these days.
"Career" has become the formal version of "job" anyway. I would be wholly unsurprised if A/B testing showed that applicants for "career" are more experienced on average.
The world is very gray...
Would love to see the results of that test.
Now, if you want to talk about helping people A/B test their lives & careers, I'm interested :)
Absolutely incredible.
Quite the opposite actually - the main point here, and perhaps I could do a better job of getting that across, is that the traditional concept of a "career" as a series of deliberate, fairly obvious steps is eroding (if not entirely gone), but the word, and its connotations, remains.
More of a nit-picky linguistic thing perhaps, but psychology & first impressions are important here, and I get suspicious whenever I see what looks like folks labeling something relating to other peoples lives with a loaded term without consideration of its implications.
