It is very rare to walk directly into the perfect job role. There are usually a series of small steps that need to be taken, sometimes over many years, before longer-term goals can be met.  A career path is the journey that people take to reach their career goals. Understanding and managing a career path is a critical concept that should be taught at high school, but it is never too late.
