JOB vs CAREER part 1

A job is simply something you do to earn money. Career advancement is not something you're interested in there and the work often doesn't interest you at all. In five years, you'll likely not be doing anything like your current job.
A person usually holds several jobs in their career. It is usually easier to change jobs in the same field of work that define ones career. However, switching careers is more difficult and may require the person to start at the bottom of the ladder in the new career.
