Those of you who are finishing high school – Congratulations!!! We continue our talks on the four most important decisions of your life. They are: Who will be your Master? Who will be your Mate? What will be your Major? And How will you manage your money?
Today, I want to focus on your Major. Now, first of all I am not talking about just what you will be your major in college. I am talking about making your career choice. For some young people that includes college, but there are, of course, other paths to take also.
Why is it important to choose a good career path? Well, consider this. You will work for about 40 years. That is nearly 80,000 hours. Think of a lousy summer job you have had. Those jobs where a 6 hour shift is difficult. Imagine doing that for over 80,000 hours. Wow!
God has wired each of us up differently. He has given us unique giftings, talents and passions. Choose your career path, your major based on His calling on your life, based on His wisdom. He created you and He knows your future better than anyone else. So, choose wisely. And seek God for His wisdom.
Hi Rick, I don't know you, I just stumbled across this. I'm glad you're looking out for graduates' futures! You might want to fix your numbers, though. 40 years is about 80,000 *hours* (at 50 weeks a year, and 40 hours a week), not 80,000 *days*. Still a lot, but it's always good to be accurate!
ReplyDeleteThanks, that was a typo. - Rick
