What are some of your thoughts on this statement? For me it's always boiled down to what one constitutes a career.

  1. an occupation or profession, especially one requiring special training, followed as one's lifework
  2. a person's progress or general course of action through life or through a phase of life, as in some profession or undertaking
    http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/career?s=t
    I would say McCandless was referring to #1, where as #2 seems more like what he was actually trying to do.

And it seems people are so consumed by this, I agree that we need to start focusing on the good stuff, but unfortunately that's difficult without a means (job). Perhaps we need to go back to being hunter-gatherers.

career= stuck in a daily routine from 9 to 5 for your entire life, that always sounds depressing to me, i'm 20 i changed 3 part time jobs, i realized how depressing it is when i was working 12-14 hour shifts, thats completely exhausting
my point being is that people spend too much time working and less time doing what they really want or desire, and being stuck in routine like that really sucks

Yo you're 'essential 50' list was awesome. Paths of Glory, Boyz n the Hood, and Trainspotting on the same list, love it

I think ppl used to think career meant 1 single professional calling from teen aged to senior age. Career is what one opts for professionally within that span regardless the variety.
