The Duch de Coeur is a friendly and romantic land inspired by historical France during The Age of Enlightenment (17th-19th centuries).

Prior to this period, "many workers would often inherit or take up a single lifelong position (a place or role) in the workforce, and the concept of an unfolding career had little or no meaning. With the spread during the Enlightenment of the idea of progress and of the habits of individualist self-betterment, careers became possible, if not expected." Wikipedia:Career

With this in mind, the Duchy encourages its inhabitants to persue any career of interest that is relevant to this particular location & time period. With the introduction of the RPS role play system, players are able to develop skills, strategize and pursue their chosen careers within an exciting & vibrant environment. The addition of a RP Economy will also add to the fun as we work together to build our own unique version of the Duchy.

Given the anticipation of a long character life, it would be expected that players will be able to experience many careers over time.
