Between my fiancé and I, we have 4 young adults between the
ages of 17 and 20 years of age. The 2 oldest have been experimenting with
community college trying to establish routines that embrace the responsibility
of a school workload on top of jobs while attempting to cope through the pressure
of determining what career path they really want to embrace. One has changed
his degree plan in the past year and the other has focused on getting basic
classes fulfilled in a general science degree while he figures out the rest. It
seems a bit loose, in general, but when I think back to my dedication at this
young age, I was more focused on full-time work without even attempting school.
I didn’t go to college for my first degree until after working a couple of
years following my high school graduation. Although, I had chosen my career
path, in business, during these years I was putting in many hours at the
office.
We’ll be taking my 18-year-old son up to Michigan Tech
University in three weeks. He’ll be staying on campus; the school is over 11
hours from our home. He is passionate about computers and so he is pursuing a
degree in computer engineering. I think this is a good path for him and I’m
hopeful he’ll step up to the workload and have some fun along the way.
We have 1 last teenager in high school and, at this point,
we’re just happy to get her to graduation. She is creative and into
drama/theater with her intention set on Eastern Michigan University. She will
need to work hard to get the grades to be accepted but, if not, she’ll have to
adjust her plan and persevere.
As for me, if you follow my blog you know I’m in the midst
of changing careers, going from business management to entering the counseling
field. I’ll have my Master’s Degree at this time next year. Even though I’ve
changed careers, my business and leadership experience will only enhance my
work in counseling! As I said in the article, if you follow your passion,
you’re not making a career choice mistake. As I get further into the field of
counseling, I will eventually open my own business and, at this time, all of my
experience and schooling will be working together to help me achieve my calling
and career success. It is rather exciting when I thing about it!
What are you passionate about? Does your work enhance this
passion?
