Why You Hate Your Dream Job

Why You Hate Your Dream Job

I jumped at it. I was certain it would be my dream job.
Though the reality of the effort was very different to what I'd dreamed. Rather than passing time every day getting to realize the animals and find out about them, I spent eight hour days running between duties of the icy, winter rain, doing manual, often heartbreaking, job. A lot of the animals, like Tasmanian devils & quolls, had been hit by automobiles and necessary rehabilitation. I fed them, cared for these people, stayed away from getting bitten - particularly from meal times - and cleaned up after them. And even, once they did not survive, we buried them and felt the loss of theirs.

Job satisfaction is all about social dynamics, not really a job title, based on Professor Alexander Haslam, out of the school of psychology, Faculty of Queensland. "If you're a physician, you may truly love medication, but in case you wind up in a' toxic' work environment, you're not likely to find the work of yours quite fulfilling," he explains.

This is a feeling that some people experience after studying and working hard to break into difficult professions like law. Their ‘dream’ job turns sour.
