Careerism as a form of oppression
Has anyone read social essays on careerism as a form of oppression? I am especially interested in an analysis from structural point of view instead of liberal (http://activism.ca/wiki/Structural_world_view -- see also http://activism.ca/wiki/Anne_Bishop:_Becoming_an_Ally:_Breaking_the_Cycle_of_Oppression_in_People)

Careerism in various societies
I think the best way to expand this article would be to find examples of careerism in our society or in other societies (e.g. ancient China with their exams). Best would be to include some data that illustrates the presence of this "careerism"; otherwise, we're just documenting an epithet. PWnsivander the Great 04:49, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

Neutral point of view
I really don't think it's necessary that this page cite its sources. If anything, it can adopt a more neutral point of view.
 * I for one do think some references would be nice, or at least one. As it is now, there is no way for non-sociologist readers (e.g. me) to find out whether this is a common, professional term or just something that someone on the internet made up. Fyrius (talk) 14:40, 31 May 2008 (UTC)

New York Times
June 10, 2009, as a non-sociologist reader, I also wanted to find out if this was a common term as I saw it quoted today by Maureen Dowd in the New York Times, see http://www.nytimes.com/2009/06/10/opinion/10dowd.html —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.121.222.248 (talk) 01:58, 11 June 2009 (UTC)

Careerism in the Catholic Church
Certain Archbishops and Cardinals have complained about the phenomenon of careerism in the Catholic Church. This could maybe be mentioned in the article, along with appropriate sources of course. ADM (talk) 02:39, 11 September 2009 (UTC)
