Until lately, I had always assumed that the career line was a line on the palm of ones hand. In palmistry, the career line would give an indication of how ones career in life is like.
However, I found that there is another meaning to career line in Taiwan. In the Taiwanese entertainment industry, ones cleavage is known as career line. Why? Ahem! The more prominent the cleavage, the better chance one has of advancing in this industry.
By the way, the career line is not only the requisite for ladies, men would benefit from having it as well. Really! Yup!
Here is an excerpt from article about a Taiwanese artiste and his career line.
Show Lo Quickly Loses 6kg in 20 days To Show "Career Line"
(note : it's now popular in Taiwan to speak of "cleavage" as "career line")
The king of album sales of 2010, Show Lo (pictured above) will be releasing his 8th album soon. And wanting a new image, he met with trainer Eddie Pan, learning aerobic exercises, strengthening his heart and lungs, and building his physique, quickly losing 6kg in 20 days. And as a result, in his promotional pictures, there's a little peak at his "career line," which is said to not have been edited at all.

So next time, do not be overly shocked if you ask a male in Taiwan to show you their career line and instead of showing you his palm, he starts to take off his shirt. Kee! Kee! Kee!
