Randployment

Ah, employment... always such a joy to find, happily keep, wonder about in the future. I'm struggling with a few things, here. The first is the panic that I'm losing time to pick a career and stick with it. I'm getting older, and I can't keep having such varied experience, blah blah blah. I realize this is debunked by, like, all these statistics about people switching careers, like 31 times per lifetime, but its still a panic sometimes. The second is feeling like my 'career choice' is my purpose. Sam and I were discussing this one, and how a career can be part of my purpose, but that I really have to keep remembering that my first purpose is to serve God, and my second is to be Sam's wife. Obviously both of those are roomy and allow for many employment opportunities, but it helped me in recognizing that my career isn't so much about identity. The last thing I'm struggling with is wanting to be as reponsible as possible with my time, talents, and passions. I don't just want something for money, or something else for fun. *sigh* I know it'll all sort itself out. In fact, I think I'm to go ahead and accept the lower pay, higher enjoyment opportunity and get it over with.
