Many people think that getting a job and choosing a career is the same but they're not. There different in terms of Salary, Time, Training, Education. So what is a job? And what is a career? "A job is a group of homogeneous tasks related by similarity of functions. When performed by an employee in an exchange for pay, a job consists of duties, responsibilities, and tasks (performance elements) that are defined and specific, and can be accomplished, quantified, measured, and rated. From a wider perspective, a job is synonymous with a role and includes the physical and social aspects of a work environment. Often, individuals identify themselves with their job or role and derive motivation from its uniqueness or usefulness."(businessdictionary) So an example of what a job is would be like working in a restaurant or working in a department store. A Job in terms of how you spend your time isn't really hard on the person, it's for a short term. Generally speaking, standard working hours of countries worldwide are around 40 to 44 hours per week.(Wikipedia) Split up that's 8 hours a day which isn't making the person sacrifice anything for the tasks they are doing. All jobs require you to have some sort of education, and there are different levels of education. Such as less than high school, high school diploma, associates, bachelors, masters, and doctoral degree. "The people who are just looking to have a job have education from less than high school up to associates."(Wikipedia) The people who work these jobs don't have to have a high education cause most the task they will be performing will be basic tasks. Sometimes education may not be required. But every job usually requires specialized training. The specialized training is done to make sure that employees are able to do their job correctly. The main thing people want when they just want a job is the money. They don't look for jobs for enjoyment they look for a good paying job.
