My Dream Job

---

I remember a time when the question: Your dream job? would have been rather an easy one to answer. Those were the days when my reality was more or less a bubble perspective without the influence of actual reality. A job was the best thing one could look forward to when growing up, I couldn't wait to grow up and just get started on it. But now I am scared.....

Fast forward to my teen years and all of a sudden my eyes were opened up to the actual realities of what it really means to actually have a job, you could say the bubble was busted and men did I hate the experience of what was actually reality. I had grown accustomed to life being a walk in the park but here I was all of a sudden realizing that my thinking was rather different compared to what was actually happening.

I don't hate jobs, I have no problem with them, they are a crucial aspect of society, always have been since time immemorial. You guessed it right there is a but though...

I would love to be a creative, explore different things, passions, things I find interesting, travel the world, experience different cultures, different perspectives and soo much more. And I know we all have these dreams at one point or another until the harsh reality of the fact that one has to conform and instead lead a rather despondent life full of repetitive routines ceasing to actually live and defaulting to just merely existing, to just meet the basic needs and present an image of success according to society metrics....and that will be the death of my being a creative, it will be not heeding to a call that has been calling unto me....

But despite being super cynical 😂🤦‍♂️ about the jobs and society, a dream job to me will be that which will allow me to not only work on something that matters to me but also enables me to be financially stable to pursue other interesting projects and the myriad of things that make my mind tick. Fortunately with the exponential advancements in technology, making that a reality is not easy but rather there are more resources at reach for me to utilize to reach my goals....which actually means great amount of sacrifice right now while I still got the time to harness my skills and learn as much about myself as I can....simply embracing being different and charting my own path in a society plagued with group thinking....

Otherwise getting a 9-5 job will only lead me down a spiral with no pleasant results at the end. And I have no problem with people with those types of jobs, but since I have the opportunity to do something different, I choose to pursue that different.

And so for me, the dream job is work at a very young start-up for a while build something to help solve a problem, make some money while at it but then transition to something else. or no job at all to just pursue my dreams, but in the pursuit of my dreams, finances are crucial, the money centric society we live in...
