Career Day at OSNAS
On Tuesday last week, students in grades 8-12 gathered in the chapel to listen to a panel of six professionals from six different careers. The purpose of this event was to get the students thinking of what interests and abilities God has given them and how they might use these gifts in a particular field of employment. In attendance, there was a periodontist, car mechanic, paralegal, automation engineer, school psychologist and principal. They shared how they entered into their career and how God had their hand upon the entire process.
I shared how I did not know which college, major or job I would have initially, but God led me one step at a time as I grew in various areas. In a pressure-filled world, it’s helpful to remember that only 25% of college students stick with their initially declared major and only 35% of people work in a career that is closely related to their major. It’s good to have a plan, but it’s also helpful to remember, “Many are the plans in a man’s heart, but it is the LORD’s purpose that prevails” (Proverbs 19:21).
