Career, Profession and Job

A career is an occupation that we create. It is about our personal history It is our vision and agenda into which we put our energy.

A person with a career could be anybody from an entrepreneur to an actor, artist, writer or disc jockey.

A profession is an occupation that we earn. We fulfill certain academic requirements, study, train and practice in a particular field. Usually our identity is in our profession:doctor psychologist, dentist, lawyer, teacher or professor.

A job is an occupation to make money that supports us and our family. Usually we are working for someone else. It is our work, but itis not our life's work.

Many times, we hold a job while we are finding and building our career, our profession and our life's work.
