How do you say "career path" like "that employee chose a new career path"? (pin yin please) I have heard "zhi ye gui hua" and "zhi ye sheng ya", not sure if either of these is better, or if there is another way to say it. I'm a trying to say "The real owner of your career path is you." Thank you!A Chinese colleague gave me another option: 职业发展. A morsel of food for thought for Dark Panther: While I agree that 拼音 alone is not a good thing, I'd recommend avoiding telling people to "forget pinyin" because it's the basis for the most popular method for typing Mandarin on a computer (MS IME Pin Yin...). Thanks for answers, everyone.
