I am still very passionate about careers and decision-making. Having gone on my own journey from bioengineer to PhD in STEM Education to Research Analyst in Financial Services (not to mention the jobs in my teen years), I sometimes reflect/lament “What am I doing? Where is the path?”

But in earnest we (people) are seeded and gifted with a variety of talents and treasures. These skills and abilities provide us the means to work, earn and care for ourselves.

The world may make you feel you have to do or be one thing your entire life. For some people that may be true, you may have one career trajectory. But others may move place to place. However, the most important aspect of career and calling is obedience.

It is very easy to chase money, accolades, and status and ignore God’s prompting. Success in God’s eyes is not always tied to worldly prosperity but the promise is you will always be taken care of.

The matter of career and calling is something every person (at all ages) can reflect on.

I found the article (linked here) a great read!
