It is very important for you to understand the meaning of long term career goals because what you want from yourself, how do you want to see yourself say 10 years down the line, what your value system is, how would you balance your work and home all this come as your long term goals. It is important that you first introspect within as to what is it that you are aiming at and how do you plan to achieve it, then start analysing and giving a shape to your dreams.

Hope that helps.
