A career or a job?

This question has been in my mind for awhile. Reason being I have been working for the new job for close to 3mths. Confirmation is coming....

When I was in my precious job neebie will worried that they dont get the confirmation after 3mths. I'll always tell them not to worried as the company usually will just confirm you so long you want this job and so long your performance is not too bad. Even when I was servicing my probation last time I wasnt worried at all for the confirmation as I was in damn good relationship with the bosses. Hahaha we are even still friends now.

Many people tell me even in my new job now that I wouldn't have the problem of not getting the confirmation. Hummmm not sure if its a good thing or not. I sometimes will lack of confidence and think that my performance is not up to their expectation or I think did I do the extra miles? But now I got another thinking suddenly....should I take the confirmation? Well I have the 2nd choice to decide if I want this job now. Then I ask myself is this really what I want and how long I can serve this company. I must say so far most of the time I feels happy working there but I tend to think how far can I grow here?

So this question came about: Is this a career for me or just a job? I felt I'm treating it as just a job so far and I'm not sure if its a good sign. I asked my close friends they all said they all just want a simple job not a career.... hummmmmm I'm still not sure.
