On Tuesday, we talked about owning your education. Now let’s get real about the part most students don’t think about: finding opportunities that aren’t advertised.
Why the Hidden Job Market Matters
- Your degree alone won’t unlock doors
- Networking, mentorship, and internships are how most people find their dream roles
- Even high school students can start exploring:
- Chat with teachers, family friends, or professionals in fields that interest you
- Look for internships or volunteer opportunities to test your interests
Treat Courses and Electives Like Experiments
- Ask yourself: “Does this spark curiosity?”
- Choose classes that teach real skills, not just check a box
- Explore areas you might not have considered—sometimes the best opportunities are in unexpected places
Reminder!
Colossians 3:23 says: “Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters.”
Treat your education like an adventure. Dive in, ask questions, explore boldly, and remember: your degree is just one piece of the puzzle. The experiences, people, and choices you make along the way often matter even more.
