ABSTRACT
Several years ago, the editors of Time magazine declared 1989 to be the year that, in retrospect, “Changed the World.” In making this assertion, the magazine documented a number of historic events, including the fall of the Berlin Wall, which effectively ended the cold war and the bloody protests in Tiananmen Square, where more than a million protesters challenged the Chinese government. On a lighter note, 1989 saw the broadcast premier of the iconic television show Seinfeld, which ushered in a new brand of sitcom entertainment. Beyond these memorable events, for researchers interested in the study of careers, 1989 was notable for another reason – it was the year of publication for the Handbook of Career Theory (Arthur et al., 1989).
