a job or beyond

i got to go to a seminar today at work ... evidently every friday from 4-5 there's a seminar for anyone in the animal science department. i was surrounded by professors and grad students listening to this prof about a genetic line of hogs that are more feed efficient than most. it made me think a lot about what i want from ... this job has a lot of potential if i want it. it could just be a job or it could lead into grad school and beyond. perhaps i don't need to know now but it all makes me wonder ...

what do i want?
what does God think about the word success?
why would i want to go above and beyond?
do i want to make a name for myself?
is it something i will enjoy?
what does it mean to glorify God at work?
does this have eternal significance?
perhaps it's not so black and white ... so what does that look like?

i guess it's good that i don't have to have it all figured out ... but sometimes i'd like to.
