Career
After being a missionary in several places, Minsk (Belarus), Nesviz (Poland) and Slutsk (Belarus), Kareu arrived in 1768 in Polatsk where he studied Architecture under the guidance of Gabriel Lenkiewicz, along with teaching Philosophy and Mathematics in the High School (1769–72). Being close to Stanislaus Czerniewicz and Lenkiewicz he helped them in their efforts to keep the Society of Jesus going in Russia. He was made the Rector of the High School of Orsa in 1782 and took part in the Regional Congregation of 1782 and 1785 that elected successively Cerniewicz and Lenkiewicz, Temporary Vicar in Russia. After 1785 Kareu was made Rector of the most prestigious Jesuit High School in Russia, Polatsk. In this period, he funded the purchase of a printing press from which, school manuals, philosophical and theological treatises and devotional books were produced.

Famous quotes containing the word career:
““Never hug and kiss your children! Mother love may make your children’s infancy unhappy and prevent them from pursuing a career or getting married!” That’s total hogwash, of course. But it shows on extreme example of what state-of-the-art “scientific” parenting was supposed to be in early twentieth-century America. After all, that was the heyday of efficiency experts, time-and-motion studies, and the like.”
—Lawrence Kutner (20th century)
“It is a great many years since at the outset of my career I had to think seriously what life had to offer that was worth having. I came to the conclusion that the chief good for me was freedom to learn, think, and say what I pleased, when I pleased. I have acted on that conviction... and though strongly, and perhaps wisely, warned that I should probably come to grief, I am entirely satisfied with the results of the line of action I have adopted.”
—Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–95)
“John Brown’s career for the last six weeks of his life was meteor-like, flashing through the darkness in which we live. I know of nothing so miraculous in our history.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
