An article in the December 27, 2014, of The Dallas Morning News, “My job has
been a privilege, passion” by James Ragland got my attention about selecting
and pursuing a career.
With 30 years The News, Ragland reminisced about becoming a journalist. After
considering law school, he took an internship with the newspaper where he found
his passion. Ragland says that doing
something that you are passionate about is a common thread among successful
folks.
How does one find such a job? I remember when I was in high school someone
ask me what I was going to do with my life.
I said that I wanted to be a success.
I thought I should be an engineer since I was fairly good at math. However, a course in drawing led me to believe
that I was not passionate about sitting at a drafting table. I found my passion in computers and education.
It is difficult for a person to know how
he/she should earn a living. Many are
fortunate and follow in a parent’s vocation or pursue God given skills and talents
in the arts; others have no clue. My
advice to others is to get a job that is your passion; if it’s not, then keep
on looking!
Please describe your job that you have found to be your passion by posting
on this bIog or emailing at mailto:glynjordan@gmail.com.
