A vocation is a job or way of life that feels right for you - something you feel strongly pulled toward, often because it lets you help other people, like nursing, teaching, or medicine. It's a stronger word than 'job': people usually use 'vocation' when they mean they feel called to do this work, not just that it pays the bills. In religious contexts, a vocation can also mean feeling called by God to a religious life, like becoming a priest or a nun.
天職、志業(覺得自己特別適合、有使命感的工作);(宗教)聖召
