  • Learn How to Become: What is a career? While many people use the words “job” and “career” interchangeably, the two have very different meanings. Throughout your life, you may hold various jobs, perhaps starting in high school or earlier. Typically, people pursue just one career. A career is a journey and something you will be committed to long-term. It consists of different steps, and ideally, it is something that you feel is your calling. If you are a student ready to begin your higher education, or have held many different jobs and want to know how to switch to doing what you love, this career guide will be a great resource.
