If you had a dream that was terribly unlikely but that is all you like

If you had a dream that was horribly unlikely but that is really all you enjoyed should you go for it? or get a real job that you probably wont even care about?

Help us keep this site organized and clean. Thanks!

    Go for the horribly unlikely one!! You'll fail and end up doing stuff that is way better than what you would have done otherwise.

      I agree.
      My goal is to make it big doing music.
      I've been doing it my whole life and have gotten nothing.
      I'd still rather be living how I do than the rest of society who slaves for meaningless things.

        Well said. Why get to the end and be asking "what was the point of all that??"

    I dreamed of being the Statue of Liberty but some broad already got that job. I'm not hard-hearted enough to pursue it. The word on the street is that she's made of stone.

    I'm going to eat my greens and take a shot at being the Sears Tower.

    Pursue your dreams. Even if they are dreams of being masonry. But don't join a masonic lodge. That's very different and much less noble.

      No as in its incredibly unlikely. As in people who become actors, famous artists, producers, famous magician. That type of job that is just incredibly unlikely to happen.

        I think I would pursue a safer job that is related to the dream job and work relentlessly at whatever the dream is whenever I can. That way, you might be putting yourself in a position where you aren't pigeon-holed to a risky future.

        Eg: learning skills to become a technical artist so that you can work with digital painters. Draw and paint whenever you can and definitely ask your colleagues to spare a moment for an occasional critique, you'll probably be able to see their entire workflow, that itself is a great benefit. If you're close enough with a painter, you could ask for fortnightly mentorship. If you're good enough, you might be able to skip the whole interviewing stage in the company you work at and just work as a painter.

        Bear in mind that my suggestion isn't going to work for everything.
