My sponge is still soaking stuff in every day.<br/><br/>Katie, I hear you - it is hard to believe you can love your job if it hasn't happened yet, or you are just starting out. When I have my doubts I always think of this quote by James Michener - "The master in the art of living makes little distinction between his work and his play, his labor and his leisure,<br/>his mind and his body, his information and his recreation, his love and his religion. He hardly knows which is which. He<br/>simply pursues his vision of excellence at whatever he does, leaving others to<br/>decide whether he is working or playing.<br/>To him he's always doing both."<br/><br/>That's my goal, to be working and playing at the same time. How cool is that! I hope that is what is in the cards for you too. Best of luck!<br/><br/>All the best to you both. Thanks Glenn and Katie for stopping by!

Glenn, lifetime learning is indeed essential as well. My sponge is still soaking stuff in every day.

Katie, I hear you – it is hard to believe you can love your job if it hasn’t happened yet, or you are just starting out. When I have my doubts I always think of this quote by James Michener – “The master in the art of living makes little distinction between his work and his play, his labor and his leisure,
his mind and his body, his information and his recreation, his love and his religion. He hardly knows which is which. He
simply pursues his vision of excellence at whatever he does, leaving others to
decide whether he is working or playing.
To him he’s always doing both.”

That’s my goal, to be working and playing at the same time. How cool is that! I hope that is what is in the cards for you too. Best of luck!

All the best to you both.

So many of us young people are terrified to enter the workplace because we know it's changing so rapidly and don't know how we will succeed. <br/><br/>I'm glad you mentioned that graduates should do something they're passionate about. When I did my survey of hiring managers, passion was the theme that kept coming up. <br/><br/>Unfortunately, it's still so hard for us young people still to believe we can pursue something we love and be successful at it!

I’m glad you mentioned that graduates should do something they’re passionate about. When I did my survey of hiring managers, passion was the theme that kept coming up.

Unfortunately, it’s still so hard for us young people still to believe we can pursue something we love and be successful at it!

Your parents may be impressed with your college diploma, but you have just begun your learning journey. Be the sponge.<br/><br/>Regards,<br/><br/>Glenn And don’t forget to keep learning.
