career end

Final job chapter

Career end refers to the point at which someone's professional life concludes, whether through retirement, termination, or circumstances that make continuing impossible.

Often appears as a compound modifier: a career-ending injury, a career-ending scandal.

The phrase emphasizes finality—not a setback but a permanent conclusion to one's working life in a particular field.
