The powers that technology and independent contracting give to workers enables them to take greater control of their careers to preserve work-life balance.
I have so many girlfriends who are powerhouses: They have big careers, are fearless in traveling in third-world countries or a launching non-profit. But they won’t text a guy for fear of being perceived as desperate. That is broken.
I’ve had several different careers.
Everyone has bad matches or bad segments into their careers, if you get through it, you know there is going to be another segment another day.
I think professionally I admire people and the way they’ve handled their careers and being in the media. But the people that I used to inspire me and keep me going were my peers in Toronto – I would see the same girls going to audition after audition, and their resilience to do it again, and I found that inspiring.
I suspect that authors who start their careers writing for an adult audience – and who eventually produce a young adult novel or two – are more common than authors who begin by writing for young adults and who then gravitate toward composing something for an adult audience.
I guess I much prefer the path of the contrarian: the guy who goes against the grain a bit. The careers of the people who I admire deeply – like the Coen brothers and Soderbergh – don’t repeat themselves, and they make radically different films at times, and I think that’s wonderful.
I don’t understand why we learn what we do for most of it is of no use to us in our careers. To get a grade, students learn just about everything and later none of this is relevant. Grades become more important than learning.
I’ve been blessed with three wonderful careers: motion pictures and television, wife, mother and grandmother… and diplomatic services for the United States government.
The TECH Careers Act will open the door for more Americans to have successful middle-class careers and help small businesses in Connecticut and across the country access a qualified pool of talented workers.
Asian Americans haven’t had as many opportunities as other people to build their careers in Hollywood, just because there hasn’t been that much of an interest, especially in Asian American males.
Very few of the great leaders ever get through their careers without failing, sometimes dramatically.
There’s a false notion that success is a zero sum game. To win in our careers we have to give up family. To work hard we have to sacrifice sleep. To accomplish we must take (or borrow or steal) from somewhere else in our lives. It’s just not the case.
It is important to understand how leaders have adapted and thought about war and warfare across their careers. ‘The Autobiography of General Ulysses S. Grant: Memoirs of the Civil War’ is perhaps the best war memoir ever written.
Our teachers and first responders spend their careers making Kentucky better, and they deserve the secure retirement they were promised.
The truth is that throughout my careers in both chess and the martial arts, I often knew that my rivals were more naturally gifted than me – either with their mental machines or their bodies. But I have believed in my training, my approach to learning, and my ability to rise to the challenge under pressure.
I’ve learned to think in terms of having a long career. Actors can have very long careers that last until the day we die, but there will be moments when you’ll feel like you’re a failure or when you’re disappointed in yourself.
The only problem is, that the musicians, the guys, their careers can go from the time they’re 18 ’till they’re 50 years old and when they get wrinkles, they’re ‘character lines.’ But when girls get ’em, they’re wrinkles!
I was that sort of obnoxious girl, I remember being 10 at careers things where people were talking about becoming secretaries and I said I don’t want to be a secretary, I want to have a secretary, and people would sort of look at me slightly perplexed.
Kids in college often look for mentors and role models to model their careers after, and women don’t have the equivalent of a Steve Jobs or Bill Gates. I think it’s a self-perpetuating loop.
It was tough times in Ohio when we lived there. My dad was between unemployed and just selling random knickknacks at a flea market. My mom was a cashier at a Chinese food restaurant. They both had awesome careers back in Taiwan, and they came here for my sister and I.
I’ve always had the kinds of careers that have a tendency to go home with you.
I admire the work of brilliant actresses such as Judi Dench, Maggie Smith and Helen Mirren, who have had such varied careers. They have never stopped working, and they are as great today as they ever were.
I know actors with promising careers who get blown out of the business, never to return.
Scientific careers rely on inheritance, environment, and random events, like all biological phenomena.
I absolutely don’t want to suggest that women are unreliable because we’re mothers – on the contrary. But the question of who brings up the kids has a material effect on all women’s careers.
Selling a movie feels like a hustle to every bone in my body. Many actors have careers dominated by modeling. They’re all over the place. It turns me off. People who are good at what they do ought to practice something bigger.
I love Dallas, Austin and Houston. Why? Because some of the best comedians, like Bill Hicks and Sam Kinison, started their careers in Texas, and because the crowds there are comedy-educated.
As individuals, we professional women need to learn how to raise our hands and ask for more throughout our careers.
We might make money and be in the careers we’re in, but we don’t need a bunch of stuff. We like showcasing that and letting people know that it’s OK to not want things and keep wanting bigger and better.
There’s so many careers that didn’t happen because women are like, ‘I can’t deal with this harassment. I’m going to leave this industry.’
Daddy – as I affectionately called him – and I were so similar in a lot of ways, and we shared that extra-special bond of professional wrestling and our careers.
I see other athletes who reached a dead end in their careers for lack of good education.
I wanted to create clothes for women in their 40s and 50s and 60s who have careers and are sexy and don’t want to look like grandmothers.
I’ve always been involved with all aspects of my careers. Being behind the camera seems as natural as in front.
The women I know who have children and have careers, they seem to be very happy. They love their children and they love their jobs. But happiness comes out of being willing to do your work in your twenties to find out who you are, what you love.
You wouldn’t try and make a cake without a recipe book. Careers are just the same.
I don’t understand why it’s not okay to be plus-size. I don’t know why people hate that phrase. Many models have built their careers as plus-size women and then suddenly don’t want to be called that anymore. But you’re still cashing checks from plus-size designers.
I think we all get a bit bogged down in our lives and our own careers and we have to take a step back and get a sense of proportion and perspective on things.
I’ve had a lot of careers in my life. When I think about it, I think every piece of that – from being a nurse, a farmer, dealing with real estate – has added to a skill set that I would have been able to use throughout my political career.
Our goal as Republicans is to ensure gender discrimination ends once and for all, and to also help guarantee those who want to remain in the workforce and continue their careers aren’t hindered by clunky, outdated regulatory structures that penalize them for making that choice.
I think as more women see that there are women out there building vibrant and creative and powerful lives and careers in their 40s, 50s, etc., then these older views of ageism will fall away.
I don’t even want my music on mainstream radio. They don’t deserve it. They destroy careers.
Many of our nation’s great leaders began their careers at a service academy. I encourage anyone interested in a rewarding college experience or military career to apply as soon as possible.
I wish HP nothing but the best. I think HP is an icon. Those of us who had their careers in the Valley think of Dave Packard and Bill Hewlett as role models. We would love to be half as good as they were.
Writing careers are short. For every 100 writers, 99 never get published. Of those who do, only one in every hundred gets a career out of it, so I count myself as immensely privileged.
During the course of my football and business careers, I have had the great honor of meeting and associating with many outstanding leaders.
Becoming a tutor was among the many attractive post-collegiate side careers I failed to pursue while devoting the bulk of my days to writing fiction.
I know a lot of people at some point in their business careers decide they’ll just cash in and do something else, but for some reason, I’ve never had that feeling.
It’s a funny thing because you look at the careers of other filmmakers, and you see them sort of slow down, and you realize, maybe this becomes harder to do as you get older. That’s sort of a cautionary thing. I hope it doesn’t happen to me.
When his football and baseball careers ended, my dad became an accomplished marbles player. Then dad got really good at pitching horseshoes. And to show you how athletic our bloodlines really were, my mom was a wonderful tennis player.
