The company I work in has a somewhat fair level of turnaround when it comes to employees, and only a few moment's ago, a new starter in the workplace just got up and left. Saying her farewells to those she got to know in the brief amount of time she was here, she said this job wasn't for her. This was something she felt she couldn't do, or rather wasn't mean't to.
So my question is this, are you still in a job that you feel you only do to get by, and do you feel there's the perfect job out there for you?
I gather most of you will say 'yes', but do you know what that dream job is, and do you know how to go about aquiring it?

A brilliant answer William. Thank you!
I don't think I could have hoped for anything better.
I'd chose your's right now if I could.

I have always tried to live my life to the fullest. When I sucessfully beat cancer, my entire focus change. Like the Country song I live each day as it was my last. If when I get up in the morning if I can see the floor, it is going to be a great day. I try as hard as I can to make one person smile that day, even if it is just a grin. I try to read as much as I can about things I never cared about. I am now on level 5 on Y/A because I try to find questions that I feel I can help someone.
In my life I have had every type of job imaginable. I was a carpetner, a flower salesman, a Sears Salesman, a metal worker, a country club manager, a pilot in the Air Force, the owner of a picture frame shop, a wholesaler of picture frames, the manager of an electonics store after I retired from the Air Force, a book keeper, a strip club bouncer, I sold food in your home, I sold insulated windows and siding, and owned my own computer business. I think that that is all.
The jobs I felt I was not my cup of tea, I would quit. Sometimes the day I was hired. The jobs I enjoyed going to work for, I never cared about the money. Those were the best ones. My favorite is the Air Force. I think it is because I got to serve the United States and give a little back to my country that has given me these great oppertunity.
Now I am sixty and disabled. But I have 0 regrets, I have been married to the woman I love for 37 years, I have two wonderful daughters, and two of the greatest grandchildren on Earth. I hope this answers your question.

I agree with William B. I am in my 40s and I have been in the military, I have made caskets, I have cut glass, I have been the business owner of 3 businesses, a print shop, photo studio and tax preparation. I have worked as a project manager, a college liaison, I have waited tables, I have mowed lawns, babysat, sold Avon, sold Shackley, and I think that is about it. I have quit some jobs as early as the first day as well. I have had cancer too and it does give you a different perspective. I have been my happiest in jobs that I enjoy that didn't pay as well, and I have been the most miserable in those that I didn't enjoy that payed very well. I enjoyed the military the most because it gave me a sense of pride and service and allowed me to see the great potential that I have. I would say that there is more than just one perfect job for everybody. I also believe that is o.k. to go through life not necessarily knowing where you will land. It is all about the journey getting there. Enjoy your job if you like it and if you don't go find another one.
