What is a Career?

A career means you stay in the same type of work. A career can be one job or many jobs. You can work for one company or many companies. A career is sometimes called a "career path" or "pathway."

A career includes education, training, and work experience. In a career, you need to think about how you can grow in your job, or move into another job. Having a career takes planning.
