In a job you seek to be successful, while in a career you seek to be valuable. In a job you look out for yourself; in a career you look after others. In a job you ask how to get from "here" to "there".  The focus on the destination.  Meanwhile, in a career you ask whether going "there" is worth it.  The focus on the journey. In a job you seek to make money.  In a career you seek to make a difference.  In a job you are detached from your deepest longings, while in a career you heed your deepest longings. In a job you expend maximum input and achieve minimal results.  In a career you tend to achieve maximum results with minimal input. In a job you experience more stress than fun.  In a career you have lots of fun even when stressed.  In a job you enjoy lots of pleasure (money, power, etc.), but not much happiness. In a career you experience true happiness even when things may be unpleasant. In a job you have a compartmentalized life, while in a career you have an integrated life.  In a job you live a life alien to your identity, while in a career you live a life congruent with your identity.

"What are you going to be when you grow up? What is your work in the world going to be? What will be your works? These are not fundamentally questions about jobs and pay, but questions about life. Work is applied effort; it is whatever we put ourselves into, whatever we expend our energy on for the sake of accomplishing or achieving something. Work in this fundamental sense is not what we do for a living but what we do with our living."

- WILLIAM BENNETT / The Book of Virtues
