Do you have a job or a career

Would categorize your role as a job or a career? I have always been career focused and I was intrigued to speak with a colleague who is just happy to have a job, he could care less about a career.

Like the person above, I had to give this question due consideration. While I like my company and peers, am challenged and believe I add value, at this stage in my life it is more of a job than a path for future growth and opportunities.

Interesting question and made me reevaluate my current position! I think I have a job and haven't really figured out my career path yet. I'm focused on my life as a whole, rather than just my career at the moment and it's going great - but I think I'm a bit more open and flexible about what lies ahead, career-wise.

I have a job! It started becoming a career (I kind of like what I do) though...and I don't think about it outside the office! I'm more focused on my personal happiness, family, my real interests (I'm an artist, and it's almost impossible to do that for a living).
