Make up your mind!

In today's culture we've been given many choices. We could eat Chinese, Swiss, Italian, Indian, American, or any variety of foods. They all sit at our fingertips. Our career choices are almost limitless. We have many options and choices. And, it's both a blessing and a curse. To a certain extent, I associate both the great amount of choices for a young man as a reason that they aren't growing up and getting to work. So, they go to college change their major six times and end up bumming off their parents till they're 28. It was different 120+ years ago. A son says to his dad, "Dad I don't want to farm." His dad replies, "Do you want to be a blacksmith then?" Son: "Not really." Dad: "Well then stop complaining and start farming." Sons did what their dad did and rarely went down a different career path. Yet, today we have all these choices. I don't necessarily see anything wrong with deciding on different careers and finding out that one career isn't worth it or they don't enjoy it. But, let's not let it be from a spirit of laziness and wanting everything given to us on a gold platter.
