Anyone who wishes can choose a Career at character creation or choose, during a campaign, to decide to fill in their character's back story with some possibly useful experience. Careers come with certain social standing depending on what they are so like a ditch-digger would get on better interacting with other ditch-diggers. However, the big things Careers grant are A) an explanation of what it is you do all week when you're not being awesome and therefore B) how you earn your bread. It also C) gives you some visual signifiers that you can use imaginatively to form some advantage and D) some kind of bonus.
Basically think of anything listed here as either a new LOTFP style Skill that you start with a 2/d6 in (or add the appropriate 1 point bonus point to a real Skill if one is listed) or a conditional bonus to your Saves.
You can choose which table you qualify for that you want to roll on but all Careers are assigned RANDOMLY.
It's there, like a lot of things in my character generation checklist, to be used or not, and ignored at your leisure once chosen.
