Career
What you want to do when you finish your education. Many people think of career as a job. However, many people have jobs they do not like. A career is job that you are interested in, something you have a passion for, and something you will continue to learn more about and focus your education on.
College/Career Readiness
This is a goal setting concept for when you are done with high school. As you make choices on the types of classes you take in high school, think about the end in mind. Your class design should follow a goal of being ready to take on a post-secondary education, extra training in a career field, or be ready to enter the workforce.

It would include the physical environment, such as a lab or factory warehouse or outdoors, as well as the time commitment, and the amount of collaboration and interaction with co-workers and supervisors.

The learning could be something like technical or special skills training. If you need to go to college for your career, you may need to get an associates degree, a bachelors degree, a master's degree, or a Ph.d (sometimes called doctorate) degree.
