Your Job and Your Career

NATHAN A. TALBOT

Have you begun planning it yet? Do you have some original ideas about how you want your career to develop? No—I'm not referring to the job you'll have. I'm speaking of your career.

Perhaps it's all too easy to get the two mixed up—your job and your career, that is. Sometimes we allow ourselves to drift into a job, but we don't envision a career. On the other hand, we may enthusiastically plan the kind of work we wish to do, and still may fail to glimpse something of our career.

Wherever you find your pathway leading—to engineering, farming, homemaking, selling, acting, or some other work—you still deserve to have a career, one that will enhance and enrich your work.
