Hey twitter, word-choice help. What's a good way to clearly express 'A thing someone does - like a job - because it is foundationally core to their identity' in contrast to a job someone does to, you know, eat. The word is, I guess 'vocation' but that feels like it has drifted?
And by 'foundational' I mean in the sense of like, "I am a farmer because my father was a farmer and my father's father was a farmer and my family are all farmers and farmer is all I shall ever be because me == farmer." That kind of born-into-it-this-is-what-I-am identity.
I'm hesitant to use vocation and I'd like something stronger and clearer if someone can think of one, because contrasting 'vocation' with 'job for pay' I think will confuse folks who hear 'vocation' and think 'vocational school.' Also, profession doesn't work because context.
Very close, yes.
Calling or inheritance
Put like this, I think 'class' is the closest to what you're after (especially if you think caste is pretty close already).
Dyed-in-the-wool is the best thing that comes to mind. Doesn't inherently mean familial or inherited, but does imply both centrality and resilience.
I don't think there's a single word that will do the trick. Maybe something like "hereditary vocation"?
Is the intergenerational aspect an important part of the meaning for you, or just an example of the depth of identity?
I don't think there's a word in current english for that concept bc individual choices are now so strongly part of modern society. "Line of [profession]" might work but you'd need definition first, I think. Defining a special term worked very well in your Fremen series...
