Occupation vs
Profession
The words occupation and profession are interchangeable.
Profession and occupation are almost the same, with only minor differences between them. The
difference between occupation and profession can be stated with a simple
example: Designing a building would be called a profession, whereas,
constructing a building is an occupation.
A profession needs extensive training and
specialized knowledge. On the other hand, an occupation does not need any
extensive training. A person with an occupation need not have specialized knowledge of his trade.
A profession can be called an occupation when a person is paid for his
particular skills, and his deep knowledge. Doctors, engineers, advocates,
journalists, scientists, and many others, fall under the professional category.
On the other hand, persons engaged in an occupation are not paid for their knowledge,
but only for what they produce.
Drivers,
clerks and technicians fall under the category of occupation.
Unlike a person engaged in an occupation, a
professional has to undergo higher education. It is noticeable that a
profession tends to be autonomous. When considering responsibilities, a
profession demands that the responsibility lies with the individual. Moreover,
only a professional will be able to assess fellow professionals. In regards to
an occupation, no one has autonomous power; he or she is supervised by another
person. Moreover, any person can make assessments, as this type of work does
not require high degrees of knowledge and skill.
Well,
professionals enjoy a higher social status than a person engaged in an
occupation. Another difference that can be seen between profession and
occupation, is that the former is guided through certain ethical codes, and is
regulated by a certain statute.
Summary:
1. A profession needs extensive training and specialized knowledge. On the other hand, an occupation does not need any extensive training.
2. A profession can be called an occupation when a person is
paid for his particular skills, and his deep knowledge. Persons engaged in an
occupation are not paid for their knowledge, but only for what they produce.

What are the advantages and disadvantages of a teacher's job? What is
the percentage of men and women in this profession? What are the tools we need
for this profession?
brettd | High School Teacher | (Level 2) Educator Emeritus
I get to work mostly independently, and
how many jobs can you say that a bout? I get to teach a subject I
love, and work with young people, which really does keep me young. I have
3.5 months of vacation per year, better than any profession I know of, and
despite the popular conception, I earn a decent living with good benefits.
To do all that, I work very long hours -
usually 50 - 60 per week, for weeks at a time. The bureaucracy is painful
and the school is usually broke and the truly bright students are few and far
between. Testing is overemphasized and the public uses public education
as a favorite whipping boy for societal ills. Parents can drive you crazy
sometime.

As with any choice of career,
it shows maturity to consider advantages and disadvantages to see whether this
choice is one that is best suited for your lifestyle and needs. Since
everyone is different, and different teaching locales and districts create
different atmospheres of employment, it must be stated that advantages for me,
may not necessarily be deemed as such by others. Nevertheless, here is my
list:
I love my choice of career for
these top reasons:
1. I share a subject for which
I have a passion on a daily passion.
2. I positively influence lives
3. I teach at my sons' school.
4. I have a daily schedule that
doesn't vary.
5. The vacations allow me
to energize and spend time with family.
I don't love my choice of
career sometimes because:
1. I share a subject for which
I have a passion with an audience who doesn't feel the same.
2. I can negatively influence
lives if not careful. (That's a lot of pressure.)
3. I teach at my sons' school
(LOL)
4. I have a daily schedule that
doesn't vary (this can become a bit of bore sometimes).
5. The vacations make me
realize that I spend much too much time focused on school, prepping,
correcting, and such, and I just don't have the time to smell the
roses daily. This is a bit sad at times. Don't forget to smell those roses.
It's what will make you a better teacher.
Advantages vs. Disadvantages of
Being an Architect
Disadvantages:
- The process of becoming an architect is long, competitive, and expensive. It takes five years of school to earn a Bachelor of Architecture degree, plus an additional two to four years for a master’s. Although admission requirements vary considerably, the most reputable architecture schools usually have extremely competitive standards with a heavy emphasis on the physical sciences, geometry, algebra, and trigonometry. After schooling comes three years of internship that, like other internships, can involve long hours and low pay.
- Architecture is a demanding profession, but it can also be a very interesting, creative one. As architects gain more experience, they become more involved in actual design work rather than technical issues and routine construction documents.
- Architecture is also never a boring career because of the variety of tasks it demands. No project is ever the same as the one that came before. Architects are also constantly dealing with different issues, such as meeting with clients and contractors, drawing plans, looking at estimates, or working out last-minute details and requests.
- Even though many architecture schools have heavy math requirements, many architects say that very little math is actually involved in their day-to-day routines. Anything that requires advanced levels of math such as calculus is usually handled by engineers or other specialists involved with a project. General overall intelligence, good drawing skills, an inquiring nature, and excellent listening and speaking abilities are actually the most important qualities for architects to possess.
As with any career, being an architect has its drawbacks and its
rewards. Some are common to any career choice, while others are unique to the
profession.
Salary prospects generally rise after architects have spent several
years in the profession and have worked their way up the ranks. Starting
architects are often advised to practice good money management skills and
perhaps even work a second job.
Most architects work in the profession not for
the money but because they have a passion for their work, and this passion
makes everything else worthwhile. Even with below-average pay, many architects
know they are providing a valuable service and love every minute of it,
especially when a client truly appreciates their finished work on a project.
Also, the pay usually does increase with experience and can even be lucrative
if you reach the top levels of the profession.
How to Choose
the Right Career Four Parts:
Consider Your Interesets. Consider Your Skills. Consider Your Current State. Consider Your Future. Questions And Answers.
Choosing the right career can be difficult,
but having a defined career direction will help you with getting a job. But with a little hard work, some planning,
and some serious self-reflection, you can set yourself on a path towards a
fruitful, fulfilling career that can provide for you and your family.
1. Consider
your dream career. There is an old
saying that if you’re trying to choose a career, you should think about what
you would do if you didn’t have to work. If you had a million dollars and you
could do anything, what would you do? Your answer to that question, while maybe
not literally the best career choice for you, may give you insight into what
you should do.
·
If you want to be a music star, consider going into audio
engineering or music composition. These careers are easier to pursue and you
will be much more likely to succeed and provide for yourself in the future.
·
If you want to be an actor, consider going into media
broadcasting. You can get a degree in communications or work your way up the
chain of command in a local news or other television studio.
If you want to travel the world, consider becoming an airline steward or
stewardess. This is a great way to make a living and pursue your dream of
traveling the globe.
2. Consider
your hobbies. It is very easy
to turn your hobbies or something you love doing into a future career. Many
hobbies correspond to real world needs and positions. Consider what you like to
do and how that might fit into a career.
·
For example, if you like playing video games, consider becoming
a video game designer, programmer, or QA specialist.
·
If you like drawing or art, consider becoming a graphic
designer.
If you like sports, consider going into teaching and getting certified
as a coach.
PART 2
1. Think about
what you are or were good at in school. Think about the subjects you excelled in in school.
Though it may not be your favorite thing to do, choosing a career based on
something you are skilled at can help you excel and provide yourself a secure
future.
·
Look at the examples from the previous step if you need ideas.
3. Consider
your interpersonal skills. If your skills
lie more in helping and communicating with other people, there are jobs for you
as well. People who communicate and interact with others well can easily get
careers as social workers or in marketing and similar business positions.
· If you’re more the type to take care of others, consider nursing
or work as an administrative assistant or office manager.
PART 3
1. Explore
yourself. Figuring out
what you should do with your life may sometimes require you to get to know
yourself better. If you want a career that will really make you happy, you have
to have a very good understanding of what you want and what you enjoy. For some
people, this means taking some time off to decide what’s important to them.
There is nothing wrong with this, so don’t feel bad. It’s more
important that you figure your life out as early as possible, rather than
getting knee deep in a career which makes you hate your life.
3. Think about the
education you will have as you enter a career. It is important to consider what education you already have or will have
as you begin pursuing a career. If finances may bar you from pursuing more
schooling, you may need to consider what you already have. It may also be
necessary to stick with your existing high school or college degree if there
are time limitations or other restrictions. If you find that you are limited to
jobs relating to the degree you already have, consult with a career counselor
to find out what options are available to you.
5. Do more
research. If you're still
confused, consider doing more research on this topic. You can find more helpful
information here or consult with
your adviser or college of choice.
PART 4
2. Consider
your future financial security. One of the most
important things to consider is if the career path you’re choosing will provide
you with an acceptable level of financial security. In other words, will you be
able to make enough money to support yourself and your family?
·
Remember, this doesn’t have to be a lot of money or enough money
by somebody else’s standards. All that matters is that it’s enough for you and
what you want for your life.
