Default Splitting fields from commas


I'm not sure if this belongs here or in the Functions forum, so pleas
just redirect me if I've erred!

I've got a sizable list of occupational categories (Legal, Government
etc.), however many fields contain more than one:

*Occupation*
Accounting
Accounting
Accounting, Government
Administrative
Administrative, Government, Legal
Administrative, Legal


I need to create subsequent columns, *Occupation2* , *Occupation3*
etc., and somehow split the fields in the *Occupation* column at th
commas, and distribute the words horizontally into the next columns.
I'm completely stumped, can anyone here help? Thanks!
