Careers are usually based on personal interests and enthusiasm, while majors are based on personal knowledge and skills. Careers usually refer to a position engaged in a specific job, while majors refer to the specific education or training that a person receives, as well as the knowledge and skills acquired therefrom. Occupations and majors are interrelated, but there are obvious differences between them.
I think it's better to have a job you like, because it's a happy thing to turn your interests into work.

For the question 1, in my own opinion, the career is for a long time, and this is also a period what you want to do, it's like a widely definition but for the job, this is just a specific thing, for example, you want to do a repair worker for the internet, this is a job, but if you want to work in IT, this is the career.
and for the question 2, professions is like just focus on one thing, like professions player, but for the career, it will be a sport worker. so it just a little bit different.
for the last one, I think it is better to have a career, for example, if the workers will be replaced by the robot, but you also can be a project manager in this work, this is your career, you can constant finding a job in this area which you are good at.

1. Jobs are short-term roles for income, while careers are long-term paths with growth and development opportunities.
2. Professions require specialized training and adherence to ethical standards, while careers encompass various job roles and growth paths.
3. It depends on priorities. A job offers immediate income, a career focuses on growth, and a profession signifies expertise and recognition.

1.A job is a position of employment. A career is defined as an occupation or profession, especially one that requires special training.
2.A profession is a specialized occupation or trade that requires a high level of education, training and expertise in a particular field. Career refers to a person's overall work experience.
3.I think a job may give you a short-term steady paycheck, but a career will give you long-term financial security.

1. Jobs are all short-term, and they are just what we work for. They are related to employment. Careers are what we live for and careers are able to help us improve ourselves such as training, volunteering, and professional membership.
2. Professions refer to a specialized field of work, and they require a high level of education and training, while careers are not very professional.
3. In my opinion, it is better to have a career because we can learn lots of useful skills while working in a career. Also, careers are suitable for almost all people because they are not very professional and don't require a high level of education.

A job is just something you do for money, whereas a career is a long-term endeavor, something you struggle with and work on every day.There is entry into schools for specialized study and training to become a profession.I hope I can have both of these things at the same time, although the occupation is more stable and better, but sometimes the occupation can not get money faster, and the action is because of the money to do this thing, the current society needs money for everything. But having a stable career and a lucrative job at the same time is a very lucky thing.

In my opinion, the difference between jobs and careers is career is something that you wanna do or you already doing it for a long term and the life style that you choosing . Jobs is more like something that you do just to keep your life running.
For me, profession is something that people have to train or study specific areas to achieve. But for career, people just have to enjoy it and keep focusing on it. At certain points, people will eventually become professionals in they career.
I think everyone should have a career for their life, but having a career might take a pretty long time. Before that, i think its a good idea to get a job or to be a professional in a area

Job is more of a definition of what feeds you in short term, career is a long term work you are passion in.
Profession is about how knowledgeable in the area while career doesn’t indicate level profession.
Profession, because being profession means you are specialized in an area, and you will never be unemployed.

In my opinion, work is more a means to support oneself, and occupation is a job that requires professional skills. We need a career with professional skills, so that we can better improve ourselves
