Interview by Allen Cardoza
Two professors of psychology, Bryan Dik Phd and Ryan Duffy Phd who authored a book entitled "Make Your Job A Calling," were interviewed by Allen Cardoza from Answers for the Family on Los Angeles Talk Radio Show regarding why it is very important for young people to decide to view their job as a calling.
The research work carried out by Bryan includes examining the psychology of discovering meaningful work. In addition, in the year 2010, he received the Society for Vocational Psychology's Early Career Award.
The research carried out by Ryan centers on positive psychology and vocational psychology. Also, he is an editorial board member of the journals Counseling Psychology and Career Assessment.
Make Your Job a Calling
During the interview, the two professors swiftly pointed out that when work is viewed as a calling, it assumes an entire new flavor. Most people view their jobs either as a method to move up a status ladder or as a method to make a living or pass time. Individuals who work in order to make a living or to pass time generally do only what is required to maintain their jobs, while people who work in order to move a status ladder are usually more interested in making money and achieving influence than in making the world a better place. However, a third option is available: people can view their jobs as a calling. This means using one's natural gifts and abilities to enhance people's lives either indirectly or directly. Individuals who select this path experience higher job satisfaction for the reason that they focus on helping their communities.
The discussion covered a wide variety of questions regarding what an adolescent has to do to discover the appropriate calling. For example, Cardoza asked how young people could recognize a calling as well as what alternatives had a high school graduate who did not obtain good grades and is having a hard time getting into his or her preferred college. He also wanted to know whether the interests which encouraged an individual to view his or her job as a calling remained constant over time as well as whether it is a good idea to take up an internship or a part time employment.
Conclusion
One very important decision young people have to take is whether to enter the work force or go to college. But, before taking this decision, one has to first decide on the appropriate vocational calling. The discussion covered the several facets in the process of deciding why people should view their jobs as a calling, how an individual can select the right calling as well as how to take action on the decision.
