The Composite Career

Personally, I truly love the notion of the 'composite career' and I've been interested in it for a long time.

I am referring to the satisfaction of having multiple projects, assignments, or jobs that, when taken all together, enable you to earn the equivalent of what you would in a single full-time job with a single employer.

I know that the term 'portfolio career' is also in use, but somehow that term doesn't feel quite right to me. I like the more alliterative 'composite career' -- and I suppose one could also argue for 'compound career' -- because it means something that is blended, complex, melded, or synthesized. It seems to me that this really expresses the nature of this new way of working.
