A finance major may work in retail sales, but she doesnt intend to build directly upon that experience. A retired person has no reason to build a career, often he or she has already done so, and therefore the work is just for the purposes of money or to stay social and active. Most careers start with education. Many people work jobs because they dont have the education needed to enter careers, though jobs can certainly turn into careers, regardless of type of employment. Careers are about building on experience and advancing your job skills and knowledge. You can apply for a job, but you cant apply for a career. A job is given to you; a career is made by you.

A job is a means to earn money either for schooling, family, travel, etc. Once the need for that income is eliminated, most people are more than happy to quit their job.

If you want to have a career in fast food restaurants, that entry level position could be the first step in that career. A career is generally long term and requires specific training. A career can be a series of jobs that are related to that long term goal or pursuit. A career should be something you think you like and have the skills and desire to succeed. If you like what you do, you are more likely to spend that additional time to be good at it. Ultimately, success is measured by how good you are at your chosen career.
