How educational and career goals different? How are they the same? Why is it essential to set educational and career goals>

My educational goals were these:

--finish high school with college-prep courses, high test scores, and a high GPA.
--earn a BA in Classical Lit, English, and history
--get a secondary teaching credential
--earn an MA in something!

My career goals were these:
--find a teaching job (even part-time) while I was earning the credential
--find a full-time teaching job

What are yours?
