What's the limit on the number of careers...

[newtraveller]

...a person can take during character creation?

Is there any?

There isn't one that I'm aware of, but the fact you can't re-enter any career and the cumulative -1 on qualification rolls should effectively limit the number of careers any one player can enter.

The Mercenary careers with automatic entry for military service, do through a wrench into that a bit, I suppose.

Is there an issue you are trying to solve? You could always just declare a limit as part of your house rules...

None, but like JimG said, swapping several times will make it difficult to qualify.

1) you can't leave a career and come back to it later with 2 exceptions: you can return to a career via the draft and you can always go back to the Drifter career

2) each previous career gives you -1 DM to enter another and if you fail the roll you end up as a Drifter or you can draft once

3) you are forced to leave your current career if your Advancement roll is less than or equal to the number of terms in it. (of course with Drifter you can always go back)

4) each term is still 4 years so the more careers you do the older you'll be but anagathics can alleviate that problem
