How to find your dream job - ways to figure out what your dream job is
The earliest dream job I can remember is Graphic Designer — back when I was twelve and was obsessed with designing and coding graphics for Neopets. Then, I had an HGTV obsession and wanted to be an Interior Designer for sure. I had an epiphany in high school that I was destined to be an elementary school teacher (this did not last long).

It’s a very tense time and a delicate balance of panic and excitement…but mostly panic. One of the pressing matters on hand in college is, of course, finding a job. Job searching in college is incredibly stressful because, unlike finding an internship, you have to try to find something that’ll last more than a few months.
