Job Satisfaction

For those of you who don’t know, I am still going through the wonderful process of searching for a job. And let me tell you, it is so much fun (I’m sure many of you can relate).

Now don’t get me wrong, I still have a job (part-time job I have had while in school), and one that I am not grateful enough for, but I have been trying to move on to the next phase of my life for a while now (longer than I had expected).

The question that has been on mind, that has tested me, that has frustrated me, that has confused me, that has humbled me, that has caused me to go before God in prayer, is what’s next.

And the answer is….. I don’t have a clue! I have a Googled anything and everything, interviewed for some solid job opportunities, and even applied for jobs that I wasn’t excited about. The result has been closed door after door.

Despite all of this, I am trying to keep my head up. I will continue to seek a precious and timely word from the Lord. He who began a good work in me will continue his work till the very end (Philippians 1:6, paraphrased).

A question for you, that I am seriously curious about, is this: Are you satisfied with your job?

There are a few subscriber’s, regular blog surfer’s, and maybe some stockers (that’s ok) that visit this blog, but I don’t know many of you. What do you do? Are you satisfied? Even if I know you, are you satisfied with your job?

I guess another point for discussion could be, is job satisfaction a high priority for you? Or is the priority in paying the bills, or in location, or by default because you can’t find something you really would love to do?

Lastly, I want to hear from you if you are a minister, pastor, priest, etc. Are you pumped to do your job? Are you fulfilling your “calling” in your current job or are you in transition?

Ok…this is really the last question and open to all who would like to comment:
Have any of you settled for a job?

I think that this is a huge question for many, especially in the up and coming generations.

At this point in my life, I do not want to settle (even though I know circumstances in life call for it). I want to live a meaningful and full life now. I want to make an impact in the 21st Century that has eternal significance. I want to look back at my life and see that I haven’t wasted it.

The job search continues.
