GCheng620 can I say someone's an unstable career worker to indicate that their career is relatively unstable in general(meaning it's a freelance job or alike) No, it sounds like the person himself is mentally unstable to me. Do you have more context?

Mister MicawberOffhand I would say that his career is in an unstable profession.
But what if I want to make it as a noun to describe that person? Meaning the structure has to go as ADJECTIVE+NOUN only.

I know that I can describe his/er career as unstable, though:)

THANKS IN ADVANCE:)
