Аннотация:Abstract The career-self experiences time as linear and the career itself as a measured line, other parts of the self following along. Time is objectified in the academic vita, which grows longer with each article and book, and not with each vegetable garden, camping trip, political meeting, or child. One's multifold potential is treated much like a capital investment in an initially marginal enterprise. What is won for the garden is lost to the vita. (Hochschild 238)
