Thinking about Career…

Becoming more serious with my freelance work – designed some business cards and will do the proper business registration tomorrow.

I came across an interesting opening for a research assistant position from CU earlier this week, got me thinking about whether I should get myself a full-time job, the regular monthly income is such a tempting proposition.  But then again, is this really what I want to do as a career?  In 5 years, I hope to see myself accomplishing the following 3 things with my career:

  1. make a living, at least enough to pay for my monthly expenses
  2. doing something that I enjoy, something that I look forward to doing every morning
  3. doing something meaningful, helping others and glorifying God with the things that I do and say

Most of my friends seem to encourage me to walk the road of entrepreneurship too.  Without asking, I was forwarded a few freelance opportunities from friends in the last 2 days.  I’m thankful that friends think of me when they see opportunities I may be interested, and I’m taking this as a sign that I should choose entrepreneurship over settling with a full-time job.

So, I’m determined, I’ll give myself 1 year to try out this uncertain road of entrepreneurship!

Oh God, please continue to lead and guide me in my career, may you use me for Your works, glorifying Your name with the things that I do and say.
