Vocation

I know in class on Wednesday we were talking about vocation and what we think it means to us and how we are taught about it hear at Wartburg. I think a lot of people today think that they need a job that pays well and will get them through life without struggling. Some people don't even do something they love anymore because they think that they won't make enough money. I think that the salary is an important part, but not the most important part. For me, I want to be a physical therapist. I know that they make pretty good money, but that's not the main reason why I want to do it. I want to spend the rest of my life doing something that I love and that I'm passionate about. I've had so many injures in sports so I know what it's like behind the curtains of a physical therapist and what it takes to be one. I want to be the person that is able to help someone recover from an injury or be able to help them with whatever problem that they are having. I think that your career or your calling should matter more on how much you love it, rather then how much money you will make.
