30 and Career-less

"What if I wake up someday when I'm 30 and still don't have a career?"

- Sam

An excellent question. I picked up my friend Sam from the airport a couple days ago and this was a part of the conversation we had on the ride back. We were talking about the next steps he is taking in his life now that he's well into his 20's, next steps for school, for relationships, careers. What came up was this statement -

"What if I wake up when I'm 30 and still don't have a career?"

I still feel a little bad because I got feisty when he said that because I had something to say and kind of jumped on him (Just kidding, I know he's okay - thanks, Sam!).

Here is what I said:

"I have a proposal for you. I propose that you already have a career. God gives you different assets to be a steward of at different points in your life and your career isn't based on what company you run or are employed by. Your career is to be the best steward of what you have, when you have it. Your whole life is your career, it just looks different in different seasons."


And that's all I've got.

**Sam, the next life-coach session I have with you, I just want you to know I'm going to charge by the half-hour. Plus mileage.
