Instructions: When planning your future, you can take different paths. Let's look at the difference between two main types of careers.

• Vocational Careers: These are highly practical, skill-based jobs. You usually learn these through short-term training, an ITI diploma, or hands-on practice.

• Professional Careers: These are academic-based jobs. You usually need to complete a 3-to-4 year university degree (like a BA, B.Sc, or B.Com) and sometimes higher studies.
