Careers vs Jobs


College graduates are expected to broaden their views on what jobs they are willing to acept due to the economic downturn but this doesn't mean that they should settle for just any job either. Grads should really be concerned with finding a career in which they may have to start small and work their way up while being extremely careful not to fall in the capitalistic trappings of a regular 9am to 5pm job.

  • A career is the pursuit of a lifelong ambition or the general course of progression towards lifelong goals.

  • A job is an activity through which an individual can earn money. It is a regular activity in exchange of payment.

  • A career usually requires special training and or education.

  • A job may or may not require some basic level of training and or education.

  • A career may not mean stability of work as it encourages one to take risks.

  • A job is "safe" as stability of work and income is there.

  • A career is long term.

  • A job it short term.
