Ah, career goals. What a great topic.
I’ve never been 100% sure what I want to do with my life. I was always so jealous of those that knew what they wanted to be and could work towards it. I changed my mind constantly and never settled on one thing.
My ideal job is somewhere I would look forward to going to every day. One that I could come away on an evening feeling like I’ve accomplished something and not have worry on my mind about what the next day or week will be like. Minimal stress and something that gives me passion and motivation.
What that is, I have no idea!
What are your career dreams?
Q1: What’s your dream career? Share something you wouldn’t share generally, but aspire to adopt someday.

Q2: What are some difficulties you think you might have to face while pursuing your dream career?
@Noor_Unnahar mine is finding out what it is, haha #socialbloggers
— Corinne (@skinnedcartree) August 15, 2015
@Noor_Unnahar mind is to have my own business, biggest thing to face? So many competitors! It’s a challenge to stand out! #socialbloggers — Fae (@Sodaberries) August 15, 2015
@Noor_Unnahar Money! So many jobs in fashion want people to work for free (internships etc) which I just can’t afford. #socialbloggers

@Noor_Unnahar Actually deciding on your dream career. There’s so many things I want to do idk how to pick! #socialbloggers — Jemma l (@dsaddictionx) August 15, 2015
@Noor_Unnahar A2.For me, finding a job I love means that I am happy to work late. But it also means my social life suffers 😩 #socialbloggers
— Lou (@naturallybeige) August 15, 2015
@Noor_Unnahar a lack of social life, brain full of information, possible failure during exams – ah the negatives scare me! #socialbloggers — Tamsyn Elizabeth (@peachesandbear) August 15, 2015
@Noor_Unnahar The cost of setting up a business is so massive, I’m not there yet, but its on my mind #socialbloggers
— Georgina Hart (@MissGigiHart) August 15, 2015
Q3: Why do you think your dream career is a good fit for you?
@Noor_Unnahar I’ve never thought about it. I guess I’m already on the right path, I follow rules well, good communicator etc #socialbloggers — Tamsyn Elizabeth (@peachesandbear) August 15, 2015
@Noor_Unnahar Because I’m good at it, enjoy doing it and gives me ‘job satisfaction’ (such an interview term haha!) #socialbloggers

@Noor_Unnahar Photography has always been the way I expressed myself, I guess it would be nice to have that as a job #socialbloggers

@Noor_Unnahar A3. A job you are passionate about & enjoy doing will always be a good fit. You shouldn’t hate going to work! #socialbloggers — Lou (@naturallybeige) August 15, 2015
@Noor_Unnahar Ive always wanted to study law, it changes peoples lives and is around us everyday #socialbloggers
— Amy Gatenby (@amygatenbyy) August 15, 2015
@Noor_Unnahar also I’d say I’m quite creative and love problem solving but graphic design allows me to do a mix of both #socialbloggers — OhHay! (@LaurenGemmaHay) August 15, 2015
I’m gonna pursue my nursing career but I want a cool career where it allows me to travel, see the world and have my own schedule.
I totally agree with you. It’s important to have a job that you look forward to when you wake up. Passion is very important! 😀
You have to find the pathway in what you could see yourself doing for a long period time.
Interesting topic. I love my work, is challenging and it makes me happy. I also like the fact that usually I have flexible working hours. There are downsides too, like the fact that I can’t take a long holiday. But as long as I can have a couple of days off now and then it works great for me.
Aw I can totally relate to the wish of having your own cafe one day! 🙂

Great post!! Really gets you thinking!! I would love to open up my own bakery!! But the overhead costs for something like that in Toronto are insane so instead I will just share on my passion on my blog!! Happy Monday!!

I dream to work as a chef or at least train as one. Cooking is my biggest passion and I get so much joy out of creating a recipe.

My dream job is one where I get to be creative and meet lots of interesting characters – other than that I’m flexible!
Finding the perfect job can be very hard especially if you like me and have no idea what toy are good at or have not found it yet. I would love to blog as a main source of item but that’s just me being unrealistic

Your ideal job sounds like my ideal job! If you ever find it, let me know 🙂
Something that makes you happy and doesn’t feel like a job has to be the perfect career. Does that exist? Lucy x
My dream has always been to develop my career independently, be my own boss, I know it’s not the easiest path but it is where I feel most comfortable, the difficulties have gone may not have done empathize with peers work or bosses!
