careers
Something that society forces upon people, esp. nowadays. If you do not have a career, people automatically assume you are a lazy
good-for-nothing bum. An unnecessary thing to have, and it's a shame that so many people spend all their lives aspiring to have a career. The concept is installed into most western children from birth, as their first twenty-odd years of their life is dedicated to "education", which generally teaches people to become "clever". Being "clever" means you will have a "good" career.The majority of humans hate their
careers, and up dying miserable. But hey, at least they paid off their
mortgage.Also, a pretentious way of saying "job".

reer {kuh-reer}
–noun
1. A long period of servitude in exchange for operating capital and the promise of financial security and much needed health care coverage on release;
golden handcuffs.
2. The mistakenly desired outcome of 16+ years of education.
3. An affliction whose symptoms are loss of life & liberty, general purpose misery, and resentment towards those who are unaffected.
4. A euphemism for 'professional labour camp'; these 'camps' are required to support
capitalism's unsustainable drive for never ending growth.
Example:
Each of the professions means a prejudice. The necessity for a career forces every one to take sides. We live in the age of the
overworked, and the under-educated; the age in which people are so
industrious that they become absolutely stupid.

Similar to a 'job' or 'work'... Usually means that you are stuck at the same pay level that you start with. No chance for
advancement and someone else will pass you for a promotion even if they are less qualified as long as they know the right people (Or have the right parents/family members). Also usually requires a piece of paper that you spent thousands of dollars on which you will never make back. The only people that will give this a
thumbs down are people that had their 'education' paid for by their
rich parents... They are very defensive when it comes to the truth being spoken out loud... People screw people over to get rich, that is how it works...
Example:
Jack: Hey Daniel,
what have you been doing with your life lately?
Daniel:
Oh you know... Doing the career thing. (Usually means
giving up your soul and putting up with a tyrants bullshit just to pay rent because things were never handed to you for free...)

verb-In professional sports, to have the best
game of life statistically. It is an important term in
fantasy sports, since
one guy having such a game can almost singlehandedly win your fantasy game for you.
Example:
I was down big, but pulled off the win when
Shaun Alexander careered in the Sunday night game. He had five
TDs in the first half!
