Perhaps I too can win award for business (10)
I believe the answer is:
occupation
'business' is the definition.
(synonyms)
'perhaps i too can win award' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'i' could be 'a' and 'a' is found within the answer.
'award' could be 'cup' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'cup' is present in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
'for' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for occupation that I've seen before include "Job, profession" , "end of invasion?" , "Calling" , "Doctor, for instance" , "Business - residence" .)
