Occupation is often thought of as someone's job, but as it turns out, is so much more! We did a search for occupation synonyms. What do you think? All inputs are most welcome. Thank you.

Dear Hassan, here is another very good article from Charlotte Brasic Royeen (2002) on the question. Figure 1 shows a selected, chronological annotation of the term 'occupation' in the occupational therapy literature (1990-2000):
