Etymology
The phrase "to change careers" combines the verb "change," from the Old French 'changier,' meaning to make different, with "career," which originally meant a racecourse or running track in Latin ('carraria'). Over time, "career" evolved to signify a person's course through life or work. Thus, "to change careers" literally means to alter one's professional path or journey.
