Career Counseling by Anna S. Whitcomb's Career Choices

“

Today I understand vocation quite differently - not as a goal to be achieved but as a gift to be received... accepting the treasure of the true self I already possess. Vocation does not come from a voice "out there" calling to me to become something I am not. It comes from a voice "in here" calling me to be the person I was born to be, to fulfill the original selfhood given me at birth by God.”

-- Parker Palmer

“	The return from your work must be the satisfaction which that work brings you and the world's need of that work.” -- W.E.B. DuBois
