Famous quotes containing the word career:

    My ambition in life: to become successful enough to resume my career as a neurasthenic.

    Ann Oakley (b. 1944)

    Work-family conflicts—the trade-offs of your money or your life, your job or your child—would not be forced upon women with such sanguine disregard if men experienced the same career stalls caused by the-buck-stops-here responsibility for children.
