Profession

With the advent of the NGE, SOE scrapped the previous skill based Professions in favor of fewer, more "iconic" paths known as careers. Each are exclusive, disallowing dabling between them, much like classes in more traditional MMORPGs. There are a total of nine careers to choose from with seven revolving around combat. In addition, players can also pickup secondary and tertiary careers; pilot and politician respectively.
