There are lots of folk who have a dream job, but lots more who have a career they dream of having. Why do these folk not have the career of their dreams? There could be lots of different reasons. If the dream does not fit the reality, then it will never materialize. How many young girls would love to be a top model, but are not really tall and super slim? Maybe boys dream of being Formula 1 racing drivers, but they cannot even steer a go-kart.

So, if our career dreams are way outside of our competencies, it makes the dream more of a flight of fancy than anything we could aim for. The folk who end up undertaking their dream career and have their textbook careers are those willing to work that bit harder, focus a little more, so as to become, perhaps a GP or a lawyer. They are stretching to get the Best Paid Careers they possibly can and know they have worked intensively to achieve this.

Not all dream roles have to be the Best Paid Careers, some folk dream of finding their perfect job while taking the chance to Work From Home. Their dream is not being required to commute every day to an office or other place of work. These folk love keeping home for their children, but at the same time want something for themselves. Their perfect role, maybe, involves opening a little Internet Business from something which was originally a hobby. Maybe their perfect career is one in which they are constantly working with new technology and being involved in the Internet Business could certainly fall in that group.

Many people who are not working in their ideal field are doing it because of occurrences in their lives which they feel were beyond their control. Perhaps there was no support during their formative years to push them to go on to university or college to train in the job which would have given them their perfect career. Perhaps their perfect career would have been much more basic, but their parents pushed them to go to college or university to train for a role in which they had no real interest, but felt obliged to accept.

Young girls getting pregnant, at a time when they may have gone to university or started on a career path, get left behind their mates and then lose the support and energy to catch up later in their lives. They may decide to find a Work From Home job in order to support themselves and their children while still being around to take care of them, but often these are not their perfect roles. Young men fall in love and marry, so the work which was supposed to be a stepping stone in their perfect career find that they need the security of their current role and no longer chase their dream.

There are some people, who no matter how hard they worked, would never be academics, so if their dream was to be a professor or a lawyer, then they will always be disappointed in the career path which they follow. To chase the dream, it must be a doable dream, but there are attainable dreams for all of us if we look in the right places and take a little risk.
