Parent As Career Coach: Recent Episodes
Grace Dyson
The purpose of the Parent As Career Coach podcast is to support parents with the task of helping young people uncover and identify their God-given life purpose and design. Parents are truly a child's first career coach and this podcast is designed for you and anyone in a parenting, educational, leadership, or mentoring role. Join us each week as we seek to help you "train up a child in the way he should go" (Proverbs 22:6).
The 3rd question in the ASK THE CAREER COACH series is:
My child or young adult wants to do a career that I don't believe will make them any money. Will my child be broke their whole life? What should I do?
