I’ve been asked a countless amount of times in the past few years what I’m going to do after college. And I know that I’m definitely not alone in that experience. From a young age we’re asked what we want to be when we grow up. As kids, many of our answers were doctor, veterinarian, police officer, firefighter, astronaut, etc., but as we’ve gotten older, our goals have changed and narrowed. I’m going to be honest, I always hated the question “What do you want to be when you grow up?” because I never really knew. Even now, I’m not completely sure what my ‘dream job’ is. I will say that this article is really helpful though. Shifting your thinking from looking for a dream job to striving for your dream life is not something I had thought of before. The point of a dream job is to be able to live your dream life, and I definitely know what I want my life to look like in the future, so I’ll start there.
Dream jobs have always been a difficult concept for me and I’ve never really known what my dream job is. I’ve heard the words frequently that dream jobs are great but if it is not something you are good at then you will not succeed. I think there is a level of balance to the idea of a dream job. Yes, you do not have to be good at what you want to do initially, that is what school is for. If you work hard you will likely succeed. However, some people just are not good at certain things no matter how passionate they are. For example, I love medicine, but I will never be good enough at biology, no matter how hard I work, to succeed. I love theater, and if I work hard I do believe I can succeed. It can feel like you have to know for certain what you want to do in this industry, but that is not always the reality for some people and finding what your dream job is can take years of reflection.
