Preparing individual for new responsibilities is an important, exciting and difficult challenge. For an individual a career means far more than a particular job, a means of making a living although this is also largely right. A career can mean many things to many people, for some it could be financial advantages, status, social standing, and for others life satisfaction, sense of accomplishment, leading a life with meaning and purpose, professional recognition and may be for others all of it.

A career can be defined as a sequence of positions, roles or jobs held by one person over a relatively long time span usually ten or more years. It can also be defined as a sequence of separate but related or connected work/life activities that provides continuity, order and meaning in person's life.
