Correct spelling, explanation: considering the history of the language, the word career came into English from French as carriere. But it originated in Latin as carrus which meant a car or chariot. However, in Modern English, the second r does not occur, which shows that it is spelled as career. The learners of English can confuse the word with carrier referring to a device by which something is conveyed, as we can see, it is an entirely different word. To sum up, career is correct, whereas carreer not correct.

Incorrect spelling, explanation: career is a noun derived from Latin as carrus with double r but, over time, this consonant became single. Nowadays the word is used as career, however, the form carreer is a common mistake due to other languages, for example in French it is carriere, in Spanish carrera, which shows that in most languages the consonant r remains double. But in Polish, for instance, it is the same as in English kariera with one r. All things considered, solely career is correct, carreer is errorful.
