Morphology
The meaning 'the sequence of jobs and positions in someone's working life' is directly and predictably composed from 'career' (work/job history) + 'path' (a course or direction). This compound follows a common, transparent noun+noun composition found across many languages and should be readily understandable to a B1 learner who knows both constituents.
Etymology
The compound noun career path comes from the simple image of a path you follow in your work life. The word career means your jobs and the word path means a route, so the phrase pictures moving step by step through a series of jobs and means 'the sequence of jobs and roles' someone has during their working life.
