Brad,

To be honest, I don't know if the scriptures tell us there is really even such a thing as individuals having a specific secular 'calling'.

The bible says everyone should work, and gives us rules of wisdom about how to work. Apart from that I think we really can chose whatever work we want.

So go for what interests you, will allow you to make a decent living and will either promote or not adversely affect your godliness (not necessarily in that order). Of course, the counsel of parents and others should factor into the equation.

I think another consideration is that it should preferrably be something that can be described as a 'career' ie the experience you gain will benefit you/make you more employable later, as opposed to just a job that will mean nothing at all once it ends.

However, I do not believe God has a particular 'calling' he wants each of us to find.
