checkered career

A not-so-stellar past moral/business record of someone who's either a board-game player or a cab driver.
Any taxi-operator who has a history of playing board-games wif his passengers --- either by parking someplace and moving da game-pieces around instead of expediently conveying da customers to where they're going, or even partaking of said sedentary recreation while actually he's behind da wheel, and thus not properly keeping his eyes on da road --- would definitely be viewed as having a checkered career!

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.
