Dream jobs are a waste of time.
The story
I now believe that dream jobs are a waste of time. This is why I have thrown out being an astronomer, and graphic designer. I have dream jobs for a reason. Because I won’t actually pursue them. I won’t pursue them whether it’s because I dislike math and don’t want to work in a math heavy field or if I enjoy the product more than the process, and because it is a low percent chance I’ll actually achieve it in a period of the world where hard work doesn’t guarantee anything and most likely won’t get you what you want . if I were to consider people facing doubts and similar obstacles I can only understand how a few of them get their dream job. It’s better to not waste my time and existence on dream jobs and get a job I have a significantly higher chance of getting.

maybe dream jobs don't have to be an all-or-nothing thing, you know? 🤔 It's kinda like aiming for the stars and landing on the moon—still a pretty sweet place to end up! Maybe consider finding ways to incorporate elements of your dream jobs into something more practical. Like, could you maybe use graphic design in a job that doesn't focus solely on it; What do you think about trying out parts of these careers without committing fully? It might help keep things exciting while still being realistic.
Also to note I’m very well heading towards the path of homelessness in the future. I’m only in my junior year so it’s not long until then. I’m only in believe at some point I’ll kick myself out of my parents house and give them a note of what I want them to do with my belongings.
I also have an idea of where I’ll go when I become homeless and hopefully I can die off there peacefully without any threats from animals or anything.
Sometimes the journey towards a dream job can teach you things you didn't even know you needed to learn, so maybe it's not about strictly sticking to a "dream" but being open to evolving experiences.
