CAREER TRAINING
In Patriarchs and Prophets, Ellen White states that a part of every day should be spent in active work. Also the Bible tells us that: “He that is faithful in that which is least is faithful also in much” (Luke 16:10 KJV). When we learn to cheerfully perform the most menial, seemingly insignificant tasks, whether it be drying dishes in the cafeteria, pulling weeds in the carrot field, or scrubbing showers in the dorm, our characters are molded and shaped into ones that are ready to perform any task God entrusts us with.
