Career/Career Choice

Faith Q&A › Metropolitan Youssef › Christian Living › Career/Career Choice

The question

I am currently in college, majoring in communication studies. I was wondering if there were any careers that I could pursue after I graduate that would help our Coptic Church. This career wouldn't take away my weekly service in the church, but help me earn a living in order that if God willing I have a family of my own that I would be able to support while doing something that I really like. I am a person who can easily get stressed out and have a hard time dealing with pressure and stress.

It would tremendously help, if you could recommend a certain career that I might be interested in that will help me make a living but make me happy at the same time.

The answer

Communication studies have several interesting areas. I cannot suggest a particular one since it has to be your choice and what you feel you like best. Since you do get stressed out easily the choice of career has to be totally yours so that you do not feel pressured into going into an area you do not really care for. In any case I am sure that you can always serve the church with your expertise in a variety of fields whether it is visual communications, journalism, speeches etc.
