Can I offer some advice I've found helpful? Don't hype up the idea of your "dream job". Until/If you do that job, you don't know it's your dream job. You're only seeing the glitter, not the big picture. Every job has good and bad aspects. EVERY JOB. Your dream job could be oiling up models for photo shoots, but that's not what you do 8 hours a day. You have to buy the oil, clean up after, and submit expense reports for getting drycleaning to get oil off of the velvet pillows. You have days oiling up Victoria Secret models, and you have days oiling up WWE wrestlers & shaved monkeys. Maybe your oiling up gig is only part of the day, and the rest is spent mixing oil mixtrures for other clients. Maybe you work in the oiling industry for a year, and move into oil sales. You don't k now what you're going to want in a job until you're in it. Don't get caught up in the idea of one thing only can make you happy. It can't & it won't. Get your foot in the door somehow, ask questions, keep learning, and if you see someone doing a job you think you may like, ask them to teach you. Volunteer. Join committees. Write for the work newsletter. Take chances. Don't turn something down or refuse to apply because it's not your dream job. You don't know what that is.
