Many of the occupations require working outside, and do not involve a lot of paperwork or working closely with others.

Artistic Careers. — Artistic occupations frequently involve working with forms, designs and patterns. They often require self-expression and the work can be done without following a clear set of rules.

Social Careers. — Social occupations frequently involve working with, communicating with, and teaching people. These occupations often involve helping or providing service to others.

Enterprising Careers. — Enterprising occupations frequently involve starting up and carrying out projects. These occupations can involve leading people and making many decisions. Sometimes they require risk taking and often deal with business.

Faith Based Career Planning Curriculum Testimonial!

We received an awesome testimonial from LL, a Clinical Mental Health Counseling student finishing up a masters degree.  Thank you LL!

 Testimonial

 

I am so excited to have purchased your Biblical Curriculum book for helping children exploring their careers.

The reason for my excitement is my internship director asked me to come up with a career resource book for the teens that I have been working with as part of my internship ... at Life Center ... a non-profit that serves at-risk youth within the areas using Biblical principles.

I am elated because your booklet will serve as a great asset to this program as they help students with their career considerations in the future.  I have glanced at the content of the book and it is an amazing resource for anyone looking to help children with their careers using Bible-based principles.

It is worth more than the $2 price tag!

Thank you so much for being a part of helping me complete my master's degree by sharing your book with the center.
