Does This Sound Familiar?
From students to seasoned professionals, I've mentored hundreds who’ve said things like:
- "There are so many tech careers—how do I choose?"→ Get clarity on the path that fits your purpose
- "Everyone talks about AI and cybersecurity—but I’m not sure what’s right for me." → Learn what each path actually involves and how to know if it fits
- "I tried before and gave up halfway." → Build a plan that prevents burnout and confusion
- "I don’t want to waste money or years on the wrong choice." → Avoid common pitfalls with a proven step-by-step framework
- "My family is asking what I’m doing—and I don’t have an answer." → Get a roadmap you can confidently follow and explain
- "I want to honor God with my career, but don’t even know where to begin." → Start with faith-based guidance that aligns with your calling
If that feels like you or someone you’re guiding, this free guide is for you.

Message from Dr. Rose Shumba
Over the past 20 years, I've guided hundreds of students and career changers through this exact journey. I've seen too many people jump into tech programs without clarity, only to switch majors, drop out, or end up in careers that don't fit.
This guide contains the same process I use in my one-on-one mentoring sessions. Many of my mentees now work at companies like Google, Adobe, and the NSA—not because they got lucky, but because they started with clarity about their calling and strengths.
Whether you're 18 or 48, changing careers or just beginning, this guide will help you discern God's direction for your tech journey. Because when you're walking in your purpose, success follows naturally.
