career hazard

A career hazard of symbologists was a tendency to extract hidden meaning from situations that had none. In this case, Langdon had entirely forgotten that the peaceful, equal-armed cross had been adopted as the perfect symbol for the flag of neutral Switzerland.

Could u pls explain what "career hazard" is? It looks like a disadvantage due to your rich knowledge about it.
What is the exact meaning?
Thank you.
