Careers

This week is National Career Week. Which might be a very good time to pause. . .think. . .and ask yourself “Why am I here in this world? What is my purpose—my calling? What knowledge and skills do I need to do the best job I can – in my “job”? How do I find out what is a good career field for me”

The good thing is we each have a lifetime to walk this earth and career is developmental. We don’t have to decide today what kind of work we are going to do for the rest of our lives. We will have opportunities in our lives we never even thought of, because of the places we go and the people we meet. We only need to decide what we want to do right now – or upon graduation.

We each need to explore who we are. And what kind of jobs there are “out there” in the world. What jobs would be good matches for who we are? What is needed--maybe we create our job. The people at Career Services are here, in, to help with that exploration. Just call (978-3435). Or come over (203 Grace Wilkie). Make an appointment to meet with one of our Career Counselors.

“To find a career to which you are adapted by nature, and then to work hard at it, is about as near to a formula for success and happiness as the world provides. One of the fortunate aspects of this formula is that, granted the right career has been found, the hard work takes care of itself. Then hard work is not hard work at all.” ~ Mark Sullivan
