Monthly column on student work

The work honeymoon is over for most of my friends. Four years out of university, nine-to-five is more monotony than novelty, the pay cheque is never quite enough, and 'travelling' is limited to two-week vacations. Reality has hit. And they live for the weekend.

So last month I was surprised to find myself surrounded by a large group of bright, (mostly) young things, all of whom seemed passionate about their work. I heard the phrases, 'I love my job' and 'this is the best job in the world' uttered on more than a few occasions. I knew the prospect of fast-track career progression or large bonuses was not their motivation (their employer provides neither), but rather a burden to see students become disciples of Jesus Christ. I was at the UCCF staff conference.
