The second best page in the universe

We all know what the Lord requires of us (To do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with our God - and all that goes with that), but what of careers? I must admit that in my life I have fallen victim to the idea that the only true Christians either became clergy or other "professional" Christians (eg. missionaries). Should a Christian young person think strategically within the society (i.e. becoming a police officer, teacher, or politician)? Or should they think spiritually (i.e. youth pastor, missionary, etc)? Should they even care? Is it true that we should "Love God - then do what you want"? Think about it, then tell me what you think.
