Excerpt from Occupational Socialization in the Professions: The Case of Role Innovation This type of career is characterized by the total acceptance on the part of the practitioner of the currently existing norms of that profession, and by the practitioner's basic acceptance of the current levels of knowledge and skill in that profession. He is content to use his technical training in the performance of a traditionally defined role; he works hard at maintaining present professional norms; he accepts whatever licensing procedures may exist; and he favors the development of strong professional associations ruled essentially by elected colleagues.
