Good question!!!
A career is usually based on current abilities with opportunities to grow & expand on those, plus gain new abilities while in process to enhance your chosen path as you steer yourself through the broad-spectrum of employment possibilities.
A profession is usually more specialized, your education is more focussed toward a specific field of knowledge...growth & expansion of that knowledge is usually kept within that particular realm.
However...
You could have a career in a certain field, and your profession could be what gets you into that field, or what becomes of you while playing in that field.
Your profession could just as well be considered part & parcel of your career choice.

A career is something you will do for the rest of your life.
A profession is the same as a job. Just something you do for money.

My two cents worth. I want a career in working in hotels, anything, working the front desk, manager, accountant. Careers are sort of in general areas. A profession is more like someone who has specialized training, the accountant as an example. The accountant only looks for accounting jobs, regardless if it is in a hotel, bank, or hospital.

A career is traditionally seen as a course of successive situations that make up a person's worklife.
A professional can be either a person in a profession (certain types of skilled work requiring formal training/education) or in sports (a sportsman/sportwoman doing sports for payment).

Education is good, because it teaches you how to learn, how to discipline your mind. Knowledge for a Christian is knowing the word, knowing your God, His nature, His will, His outlook on things. Wisdom is looking at things from God's perspective and putting them into action. Knowledge is great, but too much of it can puff you up if you don't counteract it with fruit of the Spirit. Ever know a person who's very knowledgeable, but has no temperance and no love? Their knowledge is almost useless in the long run. But wisdom? You find that and your soul shall live, because when you find wisdom, you find the way God Himself looks at a situation. Proverbs 3: By wisdom the Lord laid the earth’s foundations, by understanding he set the heavens in place; by his knowledge the watery depths were divided, and the clouds let drop the dew.
