VOCATION
1.The particular occupation for which you are trained
2.the people engaged in a particular occupation
EG:There is no easy formula for determining right and wrong livelihood, but it is essential to keep the question alive. To return the sense of dignity and honor to manhood, we have to stop pretending that we can make a living at something that is trivial or destructive and still have sense of legitimate self-worth. A society in which vocation and job are separated for most people gradually creates an economy that is often devoid of spirit, one that frequently fills our pocketbooks at the cost of emptying our souls.(S.KEEN)

Vocation
The term "vocation" should not be confused with vocational education.
A vocation is an occupation, either professional or voluntary, that is carried out more for its altruistic benefit than for income, which might be regarded as a secondary aspect of the vocation, however beneficial. Vocations can be seen as fulfilling a psychological or spiritual need for the worker, and the term can also be used to describe any occupation for which a person is specifically gifted, and usually implies that the worker has a form of "calling" for the task. The word "vocation" comes from the Latin vocare, meaning "to call"; , however, its usage before the sixteenth century, particularly in the Vulgate, refers to the calling of all mankind to salvation, with its more modern usage of a life-task first employed by Martin Luther.
