Yesterday morning was a big morning for me, an early and important morning. I had my degree consultation! A degree consultation, through CollegePlus!, is where you have a phone call with a CollegePlus! degree consultant and you...consult about your degree. :) Before we got into the details, my consultant first asked me a couple questions. Such as: "What degree do you want to pursue?" and "How did you decide on this degree?". I thought I'd post the answers to these questions for you.
1) I am going for an Economics degree with an unofficial minor in Communications. I'm a little nervous, but also very excited! I really feel that this is the path that the Lord is leading me on, and if I have to suffer through more math...I will (there is a possibility I may have to take calculus and I definitely have to take statistics). I can't promise that I won't complain about it, though. :)
2) My mom told me to look at some big corporations online to see what some of their careers were and what requirements came with those career options. So I went to Target's career website and their career page is SO helpful. If you're interested, this is Target's career site. Anyway, I clicked on Communications, and the jobs that were highlighted were Business Analyst, Team Leader, Group Leader, and a couple others. So I clicked them all, read the info, and watched the videos. The one that looked most interesting was Business Analyst. Well, then I accidentally clicked on Economics and the same careers lit up, but Economics just kind of rang in my mind. So I checked it out on CP!'s website, and asked my coach for the fact sheet, and it's what I got excited about and what I felt God was leading me to do. Before, I had felt God leading me to pursue Communications, but I wasn't very enthusiastic about it because I didn't really knowwhat I wanted to use it for. Now, I kind of have a specific idea of what I want to do with my degree, I feel like I have the Lord's blessing, and I'm excited.
Judges 18:6 says, "...Go in peace. Your journey has the Lord's approval." (NIV) When I read this verse, I knew it was for me. This journey I am taking is not like the rest of society. This journey has the Lord's approval. And I may proceed in peace on this path set before me by Him.
I will be posting more about my consultation later. Have a wonderful day!
In Christ,
Sierra
