When I was a child I wanted to become a
doctor, then a singer, then an astronaut, then a movie star, then a
diving instructor, then a car mechanic, then … I became older but
I'm afraid not much wiser. I still have 'dream jobs' that I would
simply suck at, provided that I would manage to be hired … which I
seriously doubt.
Yes, we must dream big and shoot for
the moon:

Well, maybe not literally.
BUT before you
start chasing dreams, which, if came true, would turn out to be
nightmares, try to be objective and see if it's really THE job
for you.
How have I managed to rule fake dream
jobs out? I made a list with every job I would love to do and then I
'checked' if there is any reason why I would be horrible at it.
Here
is my top you'd-better-not jobs:

No. 5 Pilot
It would be nice soaring like a bird,
free from any earthly problems …
Only: I'm afraid of the heights.
It would be so nice helping people to
find jobs …
Only: I would hire everyone and anyone
because I would feel sorry for those who have no jobs.

No. 3 Psychologist
It would be nice if I could help people
solve their emotional problems …
Only: I'm too empathic and I would cry
my heart out.

No. 2 Secret Agent
It would be nice to save the world now
and then and maybe kick some a**es ...
Only: I cannot keep a secret … and
I'm a terrible liar … and to tell the truth, I don't like hurting
people.

No 1 Millionaire
It would be nice to have no worries ... and
buy stuff ... and travel around the world...
Only: … OK. I haven't ruled this
dream out just yet. I'm still working on how to accomplish it.
But until I become a millionaire, I
stick to brainstorming when it comes to choosing a career. What is
brainstorming? Well, it's basically the same method I've mentioned
earlier. Write down every job you'd love to do – only leave out the
you'd-better-not jobs – and pick one.
Here are my realistic dream jobs:
How about you? How do you plan your
career?
