Correct usage of an em dash?
Is the following sentence a good example of the proper use of em dashes?
In light of this sudden awareness, pursuing a career in carpentry – a profession to which I lacked a vehement attraction – would have surely proven to be destructive for both my personal and professional development.
Thanks in advance!

It is an example of the proper use of dashes, but the ones in your post are actually en dashes. This is a stylistic difference that does not affect the meaning or usage.
