A career is something you hope you're doing for a long time. A job is hopefully temporary.

A career is usually something to go to college for, get a degree, and then pursue. Also, a career is usually something that you plan on retiring with. A job is where you don't plan to stay with until you retire. A career doesn't mean that you're planning to stay with that same company until you retire, but that you want to stick with that type of occupation.

A career is the field that you want to work in, a job is what you have to pay the bills on your way to finding a career.
McDonalds - a job.
CEO of Coca Cola - a career.

A job is something you just do to make money, common ones are like McDonald's or a paperboy. A career is something you plan to do for life, like working as an engineer for Dell

A job is just that, a job! A career is your passion! It's what you plan for when your a child. Example. I wanna be a firefighter when I grow up. Vs. I wanna drive a forklift and slave over someone else's interest and make them rich. get it, got, good. Damn Im goooood.

A job you hate to go to. A career you look forward to going.

Job: Something temporary, you dont really plan on doing this for the rest of your working life lol.
Career: Something you know you'll be doing long term, perhaps even retiring from.
Example: Tim works cashier at Walgreens, thats just a job.
Carrie wants to become a pharmacist, she might even goto college for it. Thats what she plans on doing with her life, where as "Tim" would only be doing it for a short period of time.

To my mind, a job is what you do for money.
A career is long-term and should reflect a particular ability or passion one has.
Sometimes a job and a career can be the same thing.
