Job of a Lifetime

Job of a Lifetime: Stories to Inspire

As told to Roizy Baum

the time we stood on the threshold of graduation, most of us seminary graduate freshies equally wished to land the perfect teaching job and pursue a job of a lifetime. But I had zero interest in teaching. I beseeched Hashem to guide me toward a career that works well for me.

“You’re a born teacher!” one friend tried to convince me.

“I think you’re making a grave mistake,” said another.

Even my mother believed I should give it a shot. “You’re totally cut out for it,” she said.
