The New York Philharmonic is a company of performers -- a company similar, in many ways, to those that employ most American workers. The Philharmonic makes and distributes a product: classical music, in live performance and on recordings. It has a highly-skilled primary work force: 106 virtuoso musicians -- The Players.

What I found is that among this group, what it takes to be successful is enormous -- in terms of hours of work, keeping up with your skills. They reported, for example, that they do 13.5 hours of unpaid work time each week for training. You have to work that hard to keep up.

Whether you're single and looking, or married and just looking, you may be longing for a little romance on St. Valentine's Day. After all that's what it's there for -- or so the florists tell us -- to make us stop and pay homage to Cupid (in Rome) or Eros (in Athens), the god of love whose career is said to be centered on lurking around, eyes peeled, arrow drawn, ready to make love happen.

The information was quite surprising -- the age factor, as far as the averages was concerned. You have to be careful, because we're talking relatively younger management teams. We're not talking about 20-year-olds running an airline. I would say 40s to late 50s.

Wikipedia-Article "Career"
- This article is about a person's occupational history; for the board game, see Careers (board game).
A career is traditionally seen as a course of successive situations that make up a person's worklife. One can have a sporting career or a musical career, but most frequently "career" in the 20th century referenced the series of jobs or positions by which one earned one's money. It tended to look only at the past.
As the idea of personal choice and self direction picks up in the 21st century, aided by the power of the Internet and the increased acceptance of people having multiple kinds of work, the idea of a career is shifting from a closed set of achievements, like a chronological résumé of past jobs, to a defined set of pursuits looking forward. In its broadest sense, career refers to an individual’s work and life roles over their lifespan.
In the relatively static societies before modernism, many workers would often inherit or take up a single lifelong position (a place or role) in the workforce, and the concept of an unfolding career had little or no meaning. With the spread during the Enlightenment of the idea of progress and of the habits of individualist self-betterment, careers became possible, if not expected.
Career counseling advisors assess people's interests, personality, values and skills, and also help them explore career options and research graduate and professional schools. Career counseling provides one-on-one or group professional assistance in exploration and decision making tasks related to choosing a major/occupation, transitioning into the world of work or further professional training. The field is vast and includes career placement, career planning, learning strategies and student development.
By the late 20th century a plethora of choices (especially in the range of potential professions) and more widespread education had allowed it to become fashionable to plan (or design) a career: in this respect the careers of the career counsellor and of the career advisor have grown up. It is also not uncommon for adults in the late 20th/early 21st centuries to have dual or Multiple Careers, either sequentially or concurrently. Thus, professional identities have become hyphenated or hybridized to reflect this shift in work ethic. Economist Richard Florida notes this trend generally and more specifically among the "Creative Class."
