Are Dream Jobs Real?
Have you ever had a dream job? Maybe it was working as a research scientist on a fascinating project, being an Olympic athlete, or traveling the world with a company. If so, did you know that such jobs are actually called “dream jobs”? And do you know why? Because they are the kinds of jobs we all aspire to have. The trouble is, we don’t see many people who have them.
 
After all, not everyone has the opportunity to choose from only those occupations that interest them. Many people must take whatever job is available in order to support themselves and their families.
Working at a job you love can be more than just a personal goal; it can also have significant benefits for your career and personal life. In this session, I share about dream jobs if they are real and if they can change also setting realistic expectations for your job.
