Purpose and Career; How To Link The Two Part 4

Clearly define the career that is aligned to your purpose After you have discovered your life purpose, you need to clearly define the career that is aligned to your purpose. Thus, you need to delineate the particular occupation and the particular field in which you believe the career that is aligned to your purpose exists. Occupation describes the kind of work the person does on the job. Examples of occupations include secretaries, economists, accountants, lawyers and teachers. A field describes a discipline, which is a branch of knowledge. Examples of fields include business, arts, education, social sciences and medicine. The same occupation entails different duties and responsibilities depending on the field that one chooses to work in. The work done by a nurse working in a hospital (medical field), for instance, is different to that done by a nurse working in a production company (business field). Delineating the particular occupation and the particular field is the best way of pinpointing exactly where you believe the career that is aligned to your purpose exists.
