ABSTRACT
Careers and lives are usually rooted in some way in the world of work, and this changing phenomenon of work forms the outer layer of a complex system. Work is one of the main external drivers in an intricate system containing a range of smaller systems, subsystems, relationships, possibilities and personal responses to all of these. All interact with each other and are interrelated. At the centre is the individual psyche, with its own specific history, experiences and responses.
