> I initially thought it meant "how to have a good career", when it means "how to make a difference to the world".

This only makes sense if you read "good" as an adverb rather than a noun.

Yeah we use the expression 'do good in your career' because it requires few characters, and in titles we often have to explain what we are about in under 60 characters!

As dianeb says, I think how to have a successful career would actually be 'how to do well in your career'.
