A career is a general course that a person chooses to pursue throughout his or her working life. Of course, the career may change once or many times due to technological changes or the individual's desire to do something different. Fred Price's is in an extreme state of flux as the process at Northeast Tool becomes more innovative. Historically, a career was a sequence of work-related positions an individual occupied during a lifetime, although often not with the same company. However, the days are numbered for relatively static jobs that require infrequent training and virtually no development for maintaining acceptable productivity levels. Such jobs are going overseas in great numbers; others are simply disappearing.
