I think, a lot of guys who want to be professional football players, they see the Premiership players, and they see the finished article, but there’s a lot of hard work that’s gone into their careers for them to get there. There’s a lot of sacrifice, and I think people tend to forget that.
My dad is an electrical engineer. So he was always very focused on, you know, teaching his daughters about, you know, science, math, technology. None of us actually became engineers for our careers, but I always had that exposure when I was young, and I just loved playing computer games.
Average male pay is higher than average female pay for a simple reason. Despite decades of enforced equality, women still have babies, and men still don’t. So women who wish to spend any substantial time at all with their own offspring will fall behind in their careers, and their earnings will be less.
There comes a time in our careers that you get that one guy. That guy that just makes your blood boil. That really pulls the savage out of you.

It’s hard not to follow other careers of NFL quarterbacks in the 24/7 news-at-your-fingertips society we live in.
Obviously, in the buildup to some fights, there’s animosity and testosterone and banter. But at the end of the day, we all understand that this is a business, just two men who are trying to further their careers and provide for their families.
Careers are funny things. They begin mysteriously and, just as mysteriously, they can end; and I am at just the very beginning of what I hope will be a long and satisfying life in the theater. But, whatever happens, I am grateful to have had my novice work received so well, and so quickly.
I love Barbra Streisand and Sade who’ve both had careers in soul and I want my music to have that timeless quality that isn’t necessarily now.
You can’t make anything without making mistakes, do you know what I mean? Robert De Niro’s in the ‘Rocky and Bullwinkle’ film. There’s a lot of far greater people than me who have made mistakes in their careers… There’s loads of people who have made stuff that isn’t good and never get asked about it.
I’ve seen a lot of actors in a lot of different stages of their careers, and I’ve seen it come and go. People get a sense of entitlement from it. And that’s when it starts getting you in trouble.
I’ve only been making records since 1991. When you look at the long-standing careers of people like Joni, it’s not very long!
We’re proud of the body of work we’ve been able to do and the commitment to our careers and our sport.
Raashi is a lovely co-star, and we’re having so much fun working together. We were talking about how our careers in Bollywood were launched by John Abraham.
On the artist side, we made a significant investment in very young artists from the very beginning of their careers and helped them become global superstars.
There are people who can’t bear to fail. Those people are on the short track as far as their careers go. You have to push hard, do hard things. But you also have to be able to say, ‘OK, today’s not the day.’
I feel like contemporary art is everywhere now and with the rise of the internet, it’s so much easier to see what artists are doing and to follow their careers.
Movie stars have careers – actors work, and then they don’t work, and then they work again.
Community colleges play an important role in helping people transition between careers by providing the retooling they need to take on a new career.
I remember doing one of those computer careers tests. It told me I’d make an ideal HGV lorry driver because I’ve got 100 per cent spatial awareness. I’d be able to back them into tight parking spots.
None of us has any personal interest above the interests of the country. Our country is more important than our careers.
In my day, the only people who achieved real independence were my father, Mary Pickford and Charles Chaplin, who, with D. W. Griffith, formed United Artists. Other than that, everybody belonged to the big studios. They had no say in their own careers.
If I hadn’t left South Africa, I felt I was at risk of being pigeonholed. I looked around and saw actors who, 10 to 15 years into their careers, were still playing stereotypical Afrikaans characters, stereotyped Indian characters. That was not something that I wanted for myself.
You know, I always root for the older athlete. I root for the second album. I root for solo careers after the rock star breaks the band apart.
I could have lived off all the male careers in my family. Everybody was always getting ovations, but I was in the wings.
I’ve found that men I’ve dated who are in the same business can be really competitive. I’ve found a great group of girlfriends in the same business who aren’t competitive, but a few times guys have started comparing careers and it has been… challenging.
Coaches coach guys on the field. I get to spend time with practice squad receivers and tight ends or a young center who’s always inactive on Sundays… I feel really good about having an impact on those guys and their careers.
At the fourth grade level, girls at the same percentages of boys say they’re interested in careers in engineering or math or astrophysics, but by eighth grade that has dropped precipitously.
At the end of the day, both men and women who become CEOs have showed tenacity and hard work to succeed in their careers. It takes not just skills but also extreme dedication and commitment. And regardless of gender, CEOs are measured by the same criteria – the growth and success of the business.
Most music careers slowly but surely go down.
I think the thing with ‘Total Divas’ is that everyone truly got to see how different we were, which helped showcase singles careers in WWE, which is something we always wanted.
There are people who appear in the magazines and I don’t know who they are. I’ve never seen anything they’ve done and their careers are over already. They’re famous for maybe 10 minutes. Real careers, I think, take a long time to unfold.
It’s great for my daughter to see Beyonce and Taylor Swift, women that are in charge of their own careers, writing songs from their own perspective and taking people to task. That’s very different from when I was growing up – it was all like, ‘Stand by your man.’
Really, it was either fight in the UFC or fight in the WWE. There wasn’t the option of both. That was a key factor. What am I going to do? I didn’t want to juggle two careers anyway.
My greatest role model is my mom because she’s a Renaissance woman. She has had many careers over the course of her life because she really is just an extremely creative, passionate person and is very involved in many different things.
I’m a huge Cure fan. I love the Cure. The scales being tipped to when they weren’t on a major label compared to when they were seems pretty meaningless. I had the good fortune of having them go before me and seeing their careers, musically at least, lose something. Like a novel written by a dead hand.
I had parents who believed I could do anything – and I know how that made me feel. I think both my parents, having careers in the medical profession, feel they are helping people on a daily basis, and that was inculcated in me as a value. I had to struggle with giving up the idea of becoming a doctor myself.
From what we understand about participation by women and minorities, we need to do a better job of exposing people early in their careers to STEM fields.
Careers are defined by four minutes on the ice and lives can change forever, emotionally and financially.
I think obviously we need to work harder at extending the women’s movement. How do women who have prepared for careers and have a child get back to the workplace and still fulfill maternal roles?
I’m happy doing what I’m doing. I do think, though, there were great comic actors like Thora Hird and Max Wall who only got taken seriously when they did straight roles at the end of their careers.
Kofi Kingston has always been one of my favorite opponents to wrestle. He and I started back in McDonough, Georgia in 2006 in developmental at Deep South together. So, our careers have come along at the same time. He’s incredible.
Women come to a time in their lives where they raise their kids, they’ve had their careers, their kids leave home, and they’re deciding, ‘Am I recommitting to my relationship? It’s been a great ride. Do I want to stay here? Maybe there’s something else.’
There were no good bands in my town. You know, there’s like this magic town where every kid started a band in high school, and half of them were good and have careers based on relationships built at that time? That wasn’t what my life was like at all.
Everyone in the entertainment business gets crappy contracts when we start out, and into the middle of our careers. It’s the nature of the business.
Being an actor: that’s a pretty big net. That’s a big playing field. The Screen Actors’ Guild is filled with many, many, many, many people and vastly different careers.
