Choosing a Career

Dec 11, 2017

Choosing a Career

Children should not be expected to make a career choice with no information to base it on. In high school, children should shadow for a day at least three different people in three different careers. The teachers or counselor should have one mandatory family meeting with each student to discuss the student’s career plan. And, the student should be required to do an internship during the summer of their freshman year in college.


Students can have personal interests such as art or working with children, but they must be taught the critical career skills that are needed by the culture at the time before they adapt their career to encompass their hobbies. For example, we need computer programmers and nurses in the current job market. Students can go to nursing school and become pediatric nurses if they like working with children. Or, students can go into a technology program and become web page designers or computer graphic artists if they like art.

Weak people will trade freedoms for entertainment and not insist that they have quality lea...

Love, desire, anger, jealousy, disappointment, sadness and fear are only a few of the emotions we experience in life. It is alright to cry. But, don’t let these emotions cause you to do destructive or irresponsible acts. You can feel an emotion as long as it doesn’t cause you to do sinful behavior. Do not act on emotions that are destructive. Emotions are motivators. Make sure they cause you to do positive actions rather than destructive ones. If you are in love, work on developing a skill that will impress the person you are courting. If you are jealous, work on obtaining something similar to what causes your jealousy. If you are angry, try talking out your problem with your opponent. If you are sad, try spending time with people you love and appreciate the blessings you have. If you are afraid, be brave and confront your fear or try using a new strate...
