I guess if you get better at something and then make more money out of it you may call it a “career”, but even when I was a singer I considered what I was doing a job, somewhere deep inside. It’s not that I wasn’t enjoying it, but I was still doing it for the money most of the time.
It’s a job at the moment. But it’s in the general field that I want to pursue as a career, and I may well be able to use it to advance my chances in said career.
I really like what I do, but I just don’t see myself ever having a career. I have too many fingers in too many pots. They might all be careers in themselves. So, if it’s a choice between job and career, I have to choose job, but really I have never done work I didn’t really feel like it served my soul as well as my pocketbook.
I’ll never have a career, but it’s not just a job, either. Is there anything in between?
