Métier \met-YAY; MET-yay\ , noun:
1.An occupation; a profession.
2.An area in which one excels; an occupation for which one is especially well suited.
My Sentence:
I feel like an intellectual backwater and become financially stagnant. Long years of hard studies back home did not benefit me in landing the proper metier I would love to have. Even if I settled for less, I am happy enough to get a decent job and earn an honest living.
Origin:
Métier is from the French, ultimately from Latin ministerium, "service, ministry, employment," from minister, "a servant, a subordinate."
