Do you want to be a Bible Professor one day, what do you mean by working at a Bible college/seminary? What makes you want to do that? That's my dream job- I'd like to to be a Bible professor. I don't work at my university- I am just a student, studying for a college degree there. Teaching at a university requires a lot of hard work (if God is in favor of me doing so, it requires at LEAST 2-3 years after college, but possibly another 4-5 after that), so I do not know if that will ever happen.

It is easy to think certain jobs will be fulfilling and I hope I can work in academics one day (if not than Christian publishing). However, work is still work and as the saying (not found in the Bible) goes "the grass is greener on the other side of the fence" (though the concept is supported in Proverbs and Ecclesiastes for sure).

My hope is to teach the Word of God one day for a paid vocation. If that doesn't happen I will trust God. When you "get older" you realize life really does have a lot of uncertainty and there is no gurauntee you will get what you want. While career is important, careers are not in the Bible (people did what their parents did and did not go to school and have "dream jobs"). What God wants is us to seek to please him in whatever job we have- whether that meets our career expectations or if we work a low-wage job that we don't like.
