Vocational Exploration

Vocation is more than just your job. It's an internal push toward a particular kind of work 和 an external pull toward the needs of your community. 这是你的目的， meaning, career, 和 everything in between.

Finding your vocation is a journey - it’s your very own UD Odyssey! 和奥德修斯一样， you’ll face obstacles along the way. You’ll solve problems, explore strange environments, 和 make discoveries that will eventually lead you to a life of purpose 和 meaning, no matter what path you choose.
