Why dream jobs dont come true

1) Do you believe it is important to be passionate about your job? Think about adults you know well, and how they feel about their jobs. 2) What are you going to do with the rest of your life (career wise) and how are you going to get there? (Yes, it is certainly ok if you don't have concrete plans, but at least write about a possible path you could take).

Yes, I do believe that it is important to be passionate about your job because it makes you happy. It makes the people around you happy; they see that you are willing to go there everyday handle a new task and complete it, successfully. Of course, you have to believe in yourself and no other. You have to believe it everyday that you can achieve what you love to do-what your talent is. In the article "Why dream jobs don't come true" written by Martha Worboy, CanWest News Service, Alan Kearns said that "A lot of people settle because of fear -- fear of change," he said. "Or they'll say my job is what I do, but I'll find passion in other areas of my life, in family or in a hobby. And this can lead to disfunction." I think he just summed up the whole idea about how how people want their dream job, but still haven't achieved it.
Where am I going? I will be going to school in January for Interior design, in Manhatten for a four year degree. Possibly come back to Penticton for visits, but mainly my visits will be in Europe. After my 4 year degree, I will be heading to Vienna to persue my dream job. Other than that I have not yet decided what to do after Vienna. But this process will probably take 5-7 years.

If you could visit anywhere in the world, where would you go?

If you could visit anywhere in the world, where would you go?



If I could visit anywhere in the world, I would visit the snowy mountains of Peru, high up in the 22, 000 feet high Andes Mountains. Full of glaciers, frost, and snow dressed in vanilla snow cone clouds. Trekking down the mountains of ice of sacred healing powers. Carrying down the tremendously full packed bag pack, down the mountain paths. Wondering if you'll make it down, you think about the family, friends, and the loved ones if they would miss you if you died. Silently watching the glacier disappear as you make your way down to civilization. As you make your way down the temperature rises, making it bearable to breath and think normally. Making this a memorable moment, stories that can be told to your grandchildren.
