Catholicterp7 Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 This isn't about state in life discernment but rather is about what do I do with my life in the here and now discernment. I have been filling out job applications for the past two months and have had no luck in finding anything. I graduated in August from an American Sign Language Interpreter Training Program and have had many job offers but I am not yet certified so the only things I can legally do are work in Educational and Religious settings. I had forgotten that I can work in some educational settings until I got an email from my teacher this morning for a job opening in a town two hours away from me. The problem with this is that I have no money so in order for this to actually happen, provided I did get the job, I would need to take out a loan in order to find a place to live, have gas money to get two hours away etc. Part of me says that with the good paying full time interpreting job that this is, I can easily pay off a loan. On the other hand I worked really hard to get through college without any debt so that wouldn't be a reason to wait to enter religious life. I also, after realizing that I can work in a school, started looking online to see if there's any educational interpreting job openings out there and found a website that helps students find tutors so I'm considering doing that because I can do both sign and music which increases my odds greatly. So anyway sorry for the rediculous rant but I guess I just needed to get it out there. Thanks for the prayers. JMJ+ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnneLine Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 Not a rediculous rant!!!! Do what you can to find something local so you can stay debt free... but that first paid job is a really important thing for you right now, and you may have to spend a little to make it happen. Especially if it is likely that you can repay the debt with the $$$ you'd be bringing in, it could be a good fit.... then when you ARE certified you'll have the experience and the degree and the certification..... looks like a plan to me.... Will pray! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
