in short words.

a job is temporary , but a career is for a lifetime.

A job is something you do to in the short term to earn cash. It's filling a work role within a business exchange for money. A career, though, is a long-term pursuit of a lifelong ambition.

Career is the pursuit of a lifelong ambition or the general course of progression towards lifelong goals ( Long term ) 

Job is an activity through which an individual can earn money. It is a regular activity in exchange of payment ( Short term )

Fully agree with the answers been added by EXPERTS

You often hear the words “career” and “job” used interchangeably, but they are two different things. A job is something you do to in the short term to earn cash. It's filling a work role within a business exchange for money. A career, though, is a long-term pursuit of a lifelong ambition.

*Career  Vs **Job

1- What is it?

* a career is the pursuit of a lifelong ambition or the general course of progression towards lifelong goals

** Job is an activity through which an individual can earn money. It is a regular activity in exchange of payments.

2-Requirements.

*Usually requires special learning that includes individualized components that develop abilities beyond that which training is capable of.

**Education or special training may or may not be required.

3- Risk taking

*A career may not mean stability of works as it encourages one to take risk. The risks are often internal and therefore planned.

**A job is "Safe", as stability of work and income is there. However shifting priorities, especially in resource jobs, can abruptly change the demand and require relocation wich is an unstable factor. Risks may be completely external.

Thank You.
