Career Objective is the second album by punk rock band The Methadones. It was released in 2003.

Reception

In 2003, Aubin Paul, writing for Punknews.org said "'Career Objective' is a testament to the fact that punk is neither dead, nor does it suck," also noting the album demonstrated how punk had changed from prior eras.

Later the same year, Shawn Merril of Exclaim! wrote, "Career Objective ... displays a natural progression into a more established and stronger songwriting foundation, without tarnishing their inherent juvenile behaviour."

Stewart Mason of AllMusic wrote "Career Objective is the sort of record that a 14-year-old kid and his 30-something uncle could both rock out to without complaint." Mason highlights aspects of multiple songs including the "musical sophistication" of "You Don't Know Me Anymore".
