The concept of career has changed with time to include not a singular path from adolescence through to retirement (Holland, 1985; Super, 1957) but hanging paths, second careers, and recycling or repeating of earlier career stages in midlife (Super, 1990). Within education, research has looked at career changes leading to elementary and secondary teaching (e.g., Castro & Bauml, 2009; Eifler & Potthoff, 1998; Swain, Schmertzing & Schmertzing; 2011; tigchelaar, Brouwer & Korthagen, 2008); however, there has been relatively little attention to post-secondary education and, particularly, vocational-technicall education.
