A career is a sum total of work-related experiences throughout a person’s life. Careers encompass all of the different jobs people hold throughout their lives and different organizations they work for.

A pattern, apart from the term's use to mean "Template", is a discernible regularity in the world or in a manmade design. As such, the elements of a pattern repeat in a predictable manner.
