I just took a career assessment that Inver Hills links to: http://www.iseek.org/careers/assessyourself.html

It matched me up with the following 3 careers in this order:
1. Post Secondary Education
2. Elementary and Secondary Education
3. Clergy

I love, love, love Inver Hills. I love the learning environment, the teachers, the campus, the people. It’s been a huge learning experience just attending school there. Because of that I, very seriously, have been thinking about making my way towards a teaching position at a Community College. I was quite surprised when that’s what my number one match was.

I’ve also met a huge amount of teachers through church this past year. In the 9 months of going to River Valley I’ve met 5 teachers (all around my age too)- 2 high school/middle school and 3 elementary. This has really got me considering an elementary teaching career as well. I had never considered one before because of the $ (which the advice in the previous post really helped me to see it should never be all about $), but I’m beginning to think the trade off for career happiness and the knowledge that I’m contributing to the world through my work with young people would probably give me a level of satisfaction that no amount of $ could ever give me.

So many things to think about and consider. I’ve been praying a lot lately about what God wants me to be and do with my life. I know that if I go where he’s leading me there’s no way I could be unhappy.
