Career is too pompous a word. It was a job, and I have always felt privileged to be paid for what I love doing.
Meaning of the quote
Barbara Stanwyck, the American actress, says that the word "career" is too fancy or important for what she did. She just had a job, and she felt lucky to get paid for doing something she loved. Stanwyck didn't see her work as a grand "career," but rather as a privilege to do what she enjoyed.
