I didn't even recognize what I specialized in until after I retired and got retrospective. The word career and careen are so similar for a reason. My career (and those of others I think) was like a canon ball careen through a battlefield, moving in one direction, then bouncing off something into another direction and another direction and on and on. Based on my experience, one does not really control one's career so much as respond to opportunities.
