Veneer Career

The socially respectable and seemingly profitable job or career that a wealthy person claims to have to hide the fact that they don't really work or make money and instead coast off their savings, inheritance, or other handouts.

For example someone might claim to be a 'designer' though no one buys anything they make and they live off their parents, or someone might say they're an 'investor' but they don't invest any money or do anything to make profit.

Such claimed careers and jobs give status and recognition to someone who would otherwise be classified as unemployed or idle.
He claims he's an investor but that's just his veneer career, he just comes from a rich family and spends his parents money but doesn't do anything otherwise. His sister's veneer clothing is a handbag line she puts out which has 2 customers: her parents.

flagging career

To the cynics, this is simply a case of media-hogging opportunists who have jumped on a voguish bandwagon in order to earn big bucks, indirectly boost a flagging career, or promote a book or movie in the works.

Career Ed

The most pointless class know to man. Run by a perverted teacher, who gives the most annoying assignments made for someone with a job of a corporate position.

Career Path

None really. The only thing I'm concerned with is the cabal of shadowy figures keeping track of everything I say and do. Let me illustrate

Guy 1 (hears me say a thing)--------- Guy 2 (repeats thing I say) This ☝️
Is the only thing in life that I care about. It's worth more than you life, your kids lives, and you wives lives. Guy 1 and Guy 2 do not know each other. How did Guy 1 tell Guy 2 what I said and who is benefiting from this? The answers to these are the only I care about. You will answer the questions.
Hym "That's really all there is to it. That's my career path. Over a couple of bumps and off of a bridge. There the fuckin plan you wanted me to make. A perfectly linear path that takes nothing to accomplish. The benefits to which are eternal. Sounds like a good one to me. What do you think?"
