Tom Schultz was a high tech engineer. Making a six-figure income, plus stock options. At the age of 37, he was giving a speech before a room full of people. "Suddenly, I felt I was watching myself from the corner, and saying 'You're not happy with what you are doing.' I was right. My job was not who I was. Within six months, I quit my job and went into teaching in a rural school district. One of my jobs was driving the school bus. I was finally happy."

Everyone has a vocation. A calling. For most of us it's not a tap on the shoulder and a finger pointing in the "right" direction. God uses very ordinary but instrumental means to speak to us. Each conversation is always very personal. God respects our individuality and our freedom. He wants us to use our heads in trying to discern our vocation.

Finding a vocation that says not only what you do, but who you are takes exploration and reaching out. For some it is a religious life. For others, it is a journey like Tom made.
