The difference between a Job and a Career

There's a major difference between a job and a career. When you think of having a job, you view it as a chore, or something that you must do to earn money. A career is viewed as a life long endeavor. You may not work at the same organization your entire working life span, but you will do the same type of work. When you have a career you are more concerned about networking with colleagues or moving up the ladder. When you hold a job, your main priority is earning a paycheck and to perform the tasks required of you. Your career should not just be a job to you - it should be what you are passionate about, what you enjoy doing. The earnings should be secondary. If you enjoy your career, you'll do it well.
