Dream Career or Fantasy?
By Shannon | March 24, 2008
Can you really create your dream career? Yes, you can, IF your dream career is indeed a dream and not a fantasy. What is the difference?
You can make a dream career come true through planning and execution. With a fantasy, you are completely at the mercy of chance. And you are usually dealing with outrageous odds. For example, winning the lottery is a pleasurable fantasy, but it is not the kind of dream you can work toward and attain.
Many people never get beyond the fantasy to actually creating a dream career.
