THE 4 MEANINGS OF WORK

Experts in humanistic education

Reflect on the meaning you give to your work; as a Job when seeking to satisfy the extrinsic motivations of material goods, as a Career when the motivations are recognition, success or professional achievement, as a Calling when motivation comes from moral fulfillment and contribution to a purpose that transcends us (to serve, please and do good), or as a Higher Calling when, in the case of believers, it responds to a higher or divine calling.

JOB

Work as a means to a paycheck

CAREER

Work as a means to achieve mastery, success and status

CALLING

Work as a means to grow, serve and contribute to a purpose

HIGHER CALLING

Work as a means to a higher transcendent mission
