Career VS Job



Career VS Job

What is a career ? and what is a Job ?

Career: a term defined by the Oxford English Dictionary as an individual's "course or progress through life (or a distinct portion of life)".

Job: a role served by a person or thing, usually involving productive work. A person usually begins a job by becoming an employee, volunteering, or starting a business

For my opinion A job is a low pay salary long hour easily replaceable cheap labor.
While on the other end a career is where u get good salary and your job require substantial level of knowledge and skills to stay on to be on this position.

How to tell if you are having a job or a career ?

Simple : if you have a job, time always seems to be passing by very slow. You keep on looking at your watch for time and asking everyone around you what time is it, as if you don't trust your eye with the time right ? Another very clear sign is you tend to disappear from your allocated work space while hiding inside toilet, back lane, pantry just to kill some of the hard passing time right. Oh yeah and most of all, you will have that fix time for lunch. if your late you are getting into trouble.

On the other side of the story, if you have a career, you dont seem to have enough time to do what u need to do everyday. And you tell yourself oh my god is late now and i still need more time to finish up my project. And you look forward to come back to continue doing it the next morning. You would most probably tell everyone about your project that you are working on. Passion seems to be growing along with the career.

If you want to look for a career, ask yourself what is your passion please, so that you can feel better at what you are doing.

Please share your valuable opinion of what is the BEST Career & WORSE Job that you think of.
