Friends, Everybody of us have dream job.I divide people into four group according to their dream job.
1. Doing their dream job, earning well and satisfied.
2. Doing their dream job but not earning well and not satisfied.
3. Not doing their dream job but earning well now
4. Not doing their dream job, not earning well and worrying for that.
Now I go to the 2nd group. I am doing my dream job. Child care is my dream job. basically I like to have contact with children. and then I don't like to go out for work. I like to stay at home. Now I care for children at my own house. I am so happy that i am doing my dream job. But earning. NO. i am not earning well. It is like a business. Cahildren and go. so no stable income. Now tell about you.

Hi dear,
I don't fit in any of these. Still, the appropriate match is option 1. I do my dream job and earn well but not satisfied. I messed up with my financial side and whatever I am getting is not sufficient for me now. I am lucky enough to get a better salary, but my nature pushed me into suffocation. As you said, I blindly believed some of my friends and helped (more than what I can), and now I am helpless and become a victim of many issues.
However, managing and trying to recover from all. Learned a lesson that 'do not help anybody, and if do so, you will be in trouble', but what to do? I am like the dog's tail. After facing lot more of experiences also, if someone asks, I will get credit and help them. What to do? I can't even change my nature.
Thank-s

Hey cheer up man. there are so many people in your position. including me. We loose nothing to have hope. And we gain nothing by loosing our hopes. So why don't we hope all our problems will be solved. definitely there must be a solution. if we are a successful blogger we can much money to solve our problem. My target is to earn 5000€ per month to solve my problem.. But now i am earning 20€ per month. but I have hope.

I am an online teacher now and while it is not my dream job when I was a kid, it is a job I have come to love. I believe I'm earning well, but I'm only human and of course I'd like to earn more, so I guess that falls in the category of "not being satisfied." However, I enjoy my work and I believe I am well compensated so I guess I can count myself fortunate.

Hi,i think i belong to the third group. Well, in fact, i am not compeletely satisfid with my income. But since it is ok in regard to my brain and labor consuming at working place, i choose the third group.
I don't like the job right now. But it is very hard to make changes. There are too many reasons: the kids, the husband, the parents. Furthermore, it is not easy to find new jobs. So i have to stick to it right now.

hi there friend,
personally, my dream job would be to work as a respiratory care practitioner and a clinical instructor soon when i graduate and got my license. earnings may not be that much but at least i'd be loving what i'll be doing in my job. i plan to work abroad, hoping to earn twice as much my salary here in our country. i got plans to provide for my mother when that time comes. and of course marry my girlfriend. 
as long as i'm loving what i do, i don't care how i earn money. see you around!

As you have correctly categorised into four how can they all be one?The answer is in your question itself.Therefore no two things can go together.If you dream of doing something then it is only a dream and can you make money in your dream.Similarly when you do a job in your wakeful condition it is not a dream and wakeful condition can never be as happy as the dreaming condition.So I think no one who is doing a dream job can make real money.Anyway you have started the discussion let us hear what others say about their experience.All the best...

I am stuck with 2 here, i am a part of both your numbers one and two. I am doing my dream job, i am not earning well but i am satisfied. I am a home care assistant, i love the job that i do, i have been doing care work for many years now, i get job satisfaction but the pay is not that good at all. I also am a full time parent when i get home from work, ok that is not a job but he keeps me busy. I was a top quality athlete when i was at college, i was studying sport but when i did work experience in a private residential disabilty home this changed my life and so i then switched courses and focused on care work and gave my sport up altogether, a hard decision to make but the best decision i have ever made.

I am now working as a medical secretary in an eye clinic. This is not my dream job but I am happy for what I am doing. At the same time, I am satisfied with the salary and benefits. But I decided to resign because I received an offer for my dream job. My dream job is to work in a school where my son can study. I will receive the same salary and the job will be more demanding. I am really after the education benefits. I decided to stay here until my retirement day. :)
