Difference between the English words job, work, and career

A lot of English learners confuse the words job, work, and career. Today, I’m going to teach you how to use each one correctly – as well as various collocations (typical phrases) in which you can use these words

LESSON SUMMARY:

JOB (Noun)
A job is a regular and official activity that you do, and receive money (a salary) for your activity. It is also called a profession or an occupation. You can have a full-time job (40 hours per week) or a part-time job (around 25 hours per week).

WORK (Noun AND Verb)
The word work is more general than “job” – whereas “job” is a specific occupation/profession, “work” refers to general efforts and activities done to accomplish a goal. “Work” can be done both inside an official job and outside a job!

CAREER (Noun)
Your career is the total progression of your professional life. It can include many different jobs over the years. You can have a career in (a field) – for example, a career in politics / journalism / teaching / finance
