Career diversity is the practice of working professionals cultivating multiple careers at the same time rather than making a job transition. The term was originally coined by Robert Echevarria on the popular business networking website LinkedIn, which gives his careers as mortgage planner/author/speaker. This concept of career1/career2/career3 was developed by author Marci Alboher in her book One Person/Multiple Careers: A New Model for Work/Life Success. The concept of career diversity was further brought into the light of modern employment when a June 2007 article in BusinessWeek interviewed Alboher about juggling professions.
