Is the Dream Job Real Or a Mirage

Is the Dream Job Real Or a MirageDream Job Real? Or a Mirage?Is the Dream Job Real Or a MirageWhen I think of dream job, the first thing that comes to mind is an episode of the old TV sitcom Cheers in which barfly Norm Peterson, who never drank a beer he didnt like, lands a job as a beer taster. Most of us can envision our own version of a dream job the job that would stoke our passions, motivate us to the fullest, and put a spring in our step when we get out of bed each morning. But is there such a thing?In my experience, even so-called dream jobs can lose their allure. Personal case in point I welches once a sports reporter for a daily newspaper a dream role for me, being a rabid sports fan. I was being paid and having fun. But after a while, some of the stuff I was doing became less challenging and sometimes even less invigorating. The fun wore off and the dream job became just a job. I knew it was time for a change, so I wrote a new resume and launched a job search.
