Episode 32 | There's No Such Thing as a Dream Job

Question

Hi Work Wives, this is Meaghan from West Valley, Utah. I need some good vibes because I just found my dream job! A position perfect for me opened up right around the time I decided I kinda want to leave my current job. It would be for a prominent travel blog in my area. It seems meant to be.

Summary

You found your dream job. You applied for your dream job. You got your dream job. Congratulations! But is it still your dream job 2 months, 2 years, or 2 decades in?

Vanessa & Holland say the answer is no because corporate America only wants to crush your dreams. So kill the concept of a dream job and extract value from corporate America, not the other way around.
