Why do some people never find their dream job?

in a lot of cases I think that's because they don't really know what that dream job really is, in order to have a dream. there's a lot of self-reflection, self-awareness and just plain getting to know yourself that has to take place beforehand.

And unfortunately, with so many folks in the daily grind and in survival mode, it's not a line of thought that comes up too often. Know thyself <3

this is so true, and honestly, my number one struggle. 'Well if you could get up in the morning and just spend the day doing what makes you happy, what are you doing? Find a way to make that your living!' sounds easy, unless your brain can't sit still for 5 minutes and every hour of every day a different thing makes you happy!
I think my only solution is to work a J.O.B. that continues to pay the bills with the least amount of frustration and make the most of the 'down time' on whatever suits my fancy at any given minute.
I am a person without a 'dream job' in my mind, but making the most of it.

Haha we're very similar in that regard @barracudadiaries I found out after my film studies in high school that i dont give a damn what I'm doing or making, but more about what the project allows me to be like...

I enjoy projects that allow me to be creative, collaborate with others, but also can ebb and flow with my creative energy for the day, solve problems and tell stories.. I can think of about 40 "dream jobs" that could fit into this category.

it's about finding the job that will let you do that in a pace and schedule that works for you and the level of freedom youd like, and hopefully one that in some way makes the world a better place, instead of just making for the sake of making... and yes being able to feed yourself is always a plus ;)
