A Great Struggle o' Mine

One more post about my work, I promise.

I am a graduate of the UGA and have a degree in Management from the Terry College of Business. I am currently working a $7/hr job where the only job requirement is not having an extensive criminal record...a job where pretty much 100% of the people who have had this job in the past have had no college education.
When I walk upstairs and see my friends or my brother, I put on this attitude that says "Yeah this job's not that great. But it doesn't matter because I am a humble guy who considers no job to be beneath him. I know my identity is not found in what job I have anyways. So I'm not ashamed. I'm above that outlook. I know who I am."

Friends, it is sad to say that the attitude I portray and try to have is far from reality. I AM ashamed. I am embarrassed about my job. I wish I was secure in who I was enough to not care what people would think. So because of my insecurities, I spend my time trying to come across as an incredibly humble and godly worker. Yet all the while, I really want them to know how much better I am than the job I'm working. Thankfully, God is a friend of insecure, self-promoting sinners.
