I just finished listening to an interview of Larry Burkett on Focus on the Family and it was very inspiring. Take a listen to today’s broadcast. According to Burkett, 80% of college grads don’t know what their career should be. Many people get into careers where they might be proficient in but feel no sense of fulfillment or enjoyment. Is that you? Personally I know many college friends who dislike their job / career but are continuing to work simply for financial reasons. I also know a few college friends who have quit their job and are now pursuing a different field or vocation. Especially for Asian Americans, parents push their kids so hard to become Doctors, Lawyers, Engineers, etc. Its sad to find out one day in the middle of your career that this really wasn’t what you wanted to do. During my 2.5 year stint as an engineer I’ve been realizing that I get the greatest sense of purpose when I am interacting and engaging people, and not so much when I’m sitting in front of a computer and playing with numbers. I’m learning a lot here and think that one day I’ll make a pretty decent engineer but in the back of my mind there is a yearning to explore other possibilities while I’m still young. These past few months I’ve been thinking a lot about becoming a teacher or doing something with languages. I have a friend who teaches ESL at a community college and I think the idea of teaching students and being in a cross-cultural setting is fascinating. I think I could start taking night classes at first and test the waters to see if I’d like it or not. Of course I’d have to start saving money for more schooling =Þ.
