Job prospects and the bigger picture

By James Due

The current economic situation, which includes many young people around the world who remain jobless, reminds me of the time when I was completing my undergraduate studies in the 1980s. 

The job market was anything but robust. College graduates were often unemployed or significantly under-employed. With my final semester well under way, the continued reports on the prospective job market left many, including me, feeling discouraged. Even on-campus recruiting initiatives were less frequent and there were fewer participants than in prior years. 

From my study of Christian Science, I knew that each of us is a spiritual idea of God, designed to express His qualities, and that divine Love cares for all of us. So when there is a problem, the real need is to better understand our relationship to God.
