So people who perceive their work as a job: motivation- paycheck at the end of the month or the end of the week; work as something I have to do- it's a chore, I have no choice about it; what do they expect- nothing much; they look forward to TGIF or the holiday, the break, the end of the semester, the end of the two year period, or whatever it may be.

The career perception, orientation: money and advancement are what motivates these individuals, getting to the next stage; work as- it's a race, a race to the top- this is what the rat racers mostly reside; the expectation- more prestige, more power, more money, more prestige, more power, again, advancement, attainment, achievement of the next goal; and they are looking forward to the next promotion.
