I know this sounds weird, but personally I've never had dream to chase. So what's it like and how did you know that this was a dream you wanted to chase?

I've found that a "Dream job" isn't exactly a job that you would love to do.

Working what you think would be a dream job, often shatters the illusion of the dream. When things get stressful, chaotic, or something goes wrong it can make you hate the dream.

I live on a smallholding farm, I get a lot of people say, 'Oh I'd love to work on a farm with animals'. You probably would... until the winter comes and it rains every day for 6 months. Until you're ill but still have to go out in all weather and do the daily jobs. Until you have an emergency and need a vet and have to weigh up your love for the animal against the cost of treatment. Until a disease comes and kills half your animals.

Rather a dream job is one that meets every one of your requirement towards happiness.
You're good at your job
Have great colleagues
Get decent pay
Have understanding management
Able to have fun while doing it.
Get a sense of achievement/pride.

Your dream job could be anything from an antique furniture restorer to an astronaut, but you'll be happy, enjoy it and look forward to going to work.

It doesnt take a genius to figure out that being a trust fund baby would be a pretty sweet gig.

I'm 42 and I still haven't figured out what my "dream job" is. I have had several jobs that I really enjoyed and I truly believe that it's not jobs people quit, but it's the people at those jobs that make you quit.
If you enjoy what you do, have good coworkers/management, and are making enough money.....you can't reallt ask for much more than that.

When I realized I didn’t mind going to work and I didn’t get the Sunday scaries. It helps to enjoy your time on the clock.

I don’t even have a job yet but my dream job is to become a doctor I found out this and it’s really only making my sense now but I found out that it was my dream job because a lot of bad things health wise has been happening to me and I don’t want people to go through worse or even any illness so that’s kinda how I found it out.
