Let’s think about a practical example, using one of our graduates- Ashlie Biller the apple of the eye of Liberty University. Ashlie is graduated and I suspect in the market for a job. Ashlie recieved her degree in special education. Let’s say Ash is offered 2 jobs. One is a teaching position at a local elementary school making just around $40k a year- not a bad outfit. The second job she is offered is as a special education advocate making a salary of around $50k a year. That is significantly more money. So let’s compare the jobs.
Teacher job: Less money, more hands on, stressful classroom setting, possible interaction with harmed students/parents/faculty
Advocate: More money, less hands on, office job in controlled environment
If we take the prosperity approach it might be easy to say that the job that offers more money and less stress is the winner…but what if that is not, in fact, true.
