Craft implies a specialized skill that you most likely had to learn by apprenticeship to someone who was already good at it, like a stonemason or silversmith would have.
Career means you have plans to stay at that job or in that same line of work at another job, regardless. Maybe you went to school for it, and you have a degree. Career implies 'time spent/will be spent' at this.
Profession is a fancy way of saying job.
Job is any kind of job.

A career is a lifetime occupation; one may change careers, but one doesn't plan to do so in advance.
A craft is an occupation that requires talent, dexterity, and, usually, an extended period of training.
A profession is an occupation requiring advanced education that is licensed by the state. At one time there were only three professions, the ministry, the law, and medicine. They still have in common that what you tell them is confidential and can't be revealed, even in court under oath.
A job is something you do, usually for pay.

It is traditionally seen as a course of successive situations that make up a person's worklife. One can have a sporting career or a musical career without being a professional athlete or musician.
A craft is a skill, especially involving practical arts. It may refer to a trade or particular art and includes studio pottery, metal work, weaving, wood turning and other forms of wood working, glass blowing, and glass art.
