Noun

職業

  1. occupation; profession; career; vocation (Classifier: 個/个 m; 種/种 m)
    職業前景/职业前景  ―  zhíyè qiánjǐng  ―  career prospects

    這四種職業很危險,膽子小的人,根本幹不了。 [MSC, trad.]

    Zhè sì zhǒng zhíyè hěn wēixiǎn, dǎnzǐ xiǎo de rén, gēnběn gàn bù liǎo. [Pinyin]

Usage notes

It is not customary in Chinese to distinguish between a profession and a professional title or role, as is the case in English. Consider the following example:

他的職業是醫生。 [MSC, trad.]
他的职业是医生。 [MSC, simp.]
Tā de zhíyè shì yīshēng. [Pinyin]
He is a doctor by profession. (lit. "His profession is doctor.")

It is also common to count being a student as an occupation.

他的職業是學生。 [MSC, trad.]
他的职业是学生。 [MSC, simp.]
Tā de zhíyè shì xuéshēng. [Pinyin]
He is a student. (lit. "His occupation is student.")
