Famous quotes containing the word career:

—Margaret S. Mahler (1897–1985)

—Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)
“The problem, thus, is not whether or not women are to combine marriage and motherhood with work or career but how they are to do so—concomitantly in a two-role continuous pattern or sequentially in a pattern involving job or career discontinuities.”
