CAREER WON

Life changing is a
career won.

A career can also become more valuable with time. Your skills improve. Your knowledge grows. Your experience becomes deeper. Your professional relationships expand. You become better at what you do, and the value of what you can do can continue to grow.

That is what separates a career from simply having a job. As S.P. Graham, the founder of Jobferno, puts it, “You have a career when you can answer yes to the question, ‘In ten years, is it possible for this job to be made into a business?’ You may or may not want to own a business. But the question helps clarify whether the work you do is a viable career.”

Your first career can set the foundation for the careers that follow. The experience you gain, the skills you develop, the money you earn, and the relationships you build do not necessarily disappear when you change direction. They can become part of what allows you to take the next step.

There are no guarantees. But when your career gives you the ability to earn, build, invest, provide, and create new opportunities for yourself and others, it has become more than a job. It has become something you can build a life around. Career Won!
