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 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.
I'm currently minoring in that unlikely dream.. while majoring in something also enjoyable yet much more practical.. and having the first job i could get.. and working on getting a better one that my parents wanted for me
What do you mean terribley unlikely? Like you have a penis but you've always wanted to play for the wnba? Or itll take a lot of work and you dont want to put in the effort?
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.
