How did you get the job of your dreams?

13 comments

1. Will let you know when I find it!

2. I founded the company. Pretty easy

3. I didn’t get it, my current job pays too little and it is not great.

4. no such thing. The idea of fulfillment through a career is a lie. Employers spread it for obvious reasons, everyone else spreads it as cope so they can pretend they are happy with the current standard for what it means to be an employee.

5. I have this problem where whatever I work on during the day, I end up dreaming about at night. Every job I have worked has been the job of my dreams.

6. “Darling I told you several times before. I have no dream job, I do not dream of labor.”

7. Getting the job of your dreams is easy when all of your dreams are nightmares.

8. Someone asked me if I could do it, I lied and said I could. That haven’t realized I lied yet, but I’m getting better at it.

9. Stumbled ass backwards into a decent job. Then found out I was replacing a guy who was getting a job that sounded really cool. Then I got that job eventually and it’s pretty awesome.

10. Applied for it. Its exactly what i expected.

11. Stop this. Get a job and learn to make the best of it. Keep your eyes open for other, better jobs.

    There is no ideal job. There are just jobs that suck less than others.

    But let me leave you with this advice- *What* you do is less important than *who* you do it with. Being a garbage collector is a great job if you’re with people you like working with. And if you’re surrounded by assholes, it won’t matter what the job is, it’s going to suck going in every morning.

12. i went into a field where almost everyone works as individual artists and if someone works for a company its often more of a cooperative that an actual boss-employee type relationship

    i found it a thing i could do for hours on end without boredom (exept finishing, fuck sanding it sucks.) and i could even be happy making the most basic designs.

    it was also fairly close to what i wanted to become in my early teens. that being a blacksmith and it so happens that blacksmithing is actually a fairly appreciated skill within this sector. it also gave me a headstart on the other students because i knew how to swing a hammer and use most tools

    i am still a student though so im probbably seeing this all through rose tinted glasses

    but i just like to do fine metalwork by hand, mostly silversmithing.

13. I worked hard for years to build the skillset. And no, it’s not at all what I thought it would be.
