I would say that a career in this sense sequence of related jobs. If we're talking about Wage Slavery, ones progression may not be into a harder position, but something that may be percieved of as being harder. Higher Status and Higher Pay maybe, but the specific job is not harder.
And again, careers can also just be stuff people do for a living. Contract Work, Freelance Artists, Stock Market investing are all careers rather than jobs.
