“You work a job to make money. You work a career to build something you value. A job is something you do to make money. A career is a life’s vocation. With a job, you are always thinking about the time you won’t be working. With a career, you are always thinking about the career even when you aren’t working…. The litmus test for determining whether you have a job or a career is this question (suggested to me by Gary North many years ago): If you could afford to, would you do it for free?” -Mark Ford
