Career Page

A Career is defined by the Oxford English Dictionary as a person's "course or progress through life (or a distinct portion of life)". It can also pertain to an occupation or a profession that usually involves special training or formal education, and is considered to be a person’s lifework. In Marvel the career system is what your character does when they are not fighting crime or causing worldwide mayhem. You can choose one main career path and one “hobby” career path. If there is a career on here you would like to see added feel free to PM it to me.
