Check out Tim Keller's article titled Vocation: Discerning Your Calling. It's an excellent overview of vocation and how as Christians we are all called to some sort of work, be it secular or religious, and how we are to discern that calling in our life. Here's a excerpt:

Work is taking the raw material of creation and developing it for the sake of others. Musicians take the raw 

material of sound and bring the meaning of art into our lives. Farmers take the raw material of soil and seed 

and bring food into our lives. This means we are God’s ministers in our work not only when we are witnessing 

or talking directly about Jesus, but when we are simply doing our work. A musician is serving God when she 

makes great music, not solely when she is singing about coming to Jesus.
