What is the difference between a Job and a Career?  What are the similarities?  
Today students got the chance to discuss the two and what they thought the similarities and differences were. This was a fun conversation for students and they had some really great ideas.  Students were challenged today to continue the conversation at home by asking their family members what jobs they had and/or what careers they have had or are currently in.
