New way of thinking....new career

Well it has been about three months since I have graduated from college and have started my new job in Kohl's MIT (Management in Training) program and I have already been taught some very important lessons about life already.....which leads me to say that my days in retail are numbered. While the money is good and the potential to earn more is also good me working in retail has shown me one very important thing...money doesn't equal happiness. One of my goals in life has always been to find a career that I would love to do everyday and not just a job in which I do work to earn a paycheck. My time with Kohl's so far has not been terrible but at the same time I have quickly realized that this type of work is just what it is....work. Throughout these past 3 months I have been doing a lot of thinking about what I really wanted to do with my life and what I realized with the help of God is that I want to make an impact on the next generation. A lot of people always talk about how the younger generations need help but I feel that God has put it in my heart to make a career of helping this next generation through something I love....basketball. So with that said I have come to the decision that I want to make the career change to become a basketball coach and a teacher. To be honest I feel that God has been telling me this for years now and to be even more honest I have been ignoring it for the longest because I felt that the money wasn't good enough. I was too focused on money and thought that it would make me happy when in reality doing what I was here for is what is going to really make me happy. Only God knows where he is going to take me with this and all I can do is tag along for the ride because in the end he will lead me to where I need to be.
