I don't understand it. The single biggest question I've had to think about since probably the age of 6 is “what is my dream job” or “dream career”, whatever.

I don't understand it. The single biggest question I've had to think about since probably the age of 6 is “what is my dream job” or “dream career”, whatever. I don't have one, but that's not an acceptable answer.

I have hobbies and passions, but anything that I actually enjoy doing would get ruined by making it my actual job. The reason I enjoy my hobbies is because I can do them on my own accord, I don't want to do them under time pressure, in the way that someone else is commanding me to do them.

No way in hell would I be working if I didn't have to. I have never felt free, happy, or fulfilled in a job. I just work because I need money to live. And this automatically gets me a reputation of being lazy or not ambitious. I don't want to be rich and climb the corporate ladder! Why is everyone telling that this is a bad thing! Am I really lazy and not ambitious? Is it wrong to think like this??
