There is an old saying “you can’t get everything you want in life”? Most people spend the bulk of their lives at work—even more time than sleeping, in fact. People try to find a career that makes them happy and fulfilled, but the sad truth is, more than 90 percent of the world’s workers feel unsatisfied with the job they’re in.

Location

For many of you, the chances are very good that your dream career is not in the city in which you currently live. Whether it’s across the state or across the country, your current living situation is in jeopardy should you decide to pursue it.

Friends, family, neighbors—you’ll have to leave them all behind in order to start your new career in a new city. This is possibly the largest sacrifice, since you’re not only leaving behind your old town, but also the people who live in it.

Your decision depends on how badly you want the job, but the consequences might affect you emotionally for the first few weeks. But after you go through the strenuous process of moving and getting situated in your new position, you’ll find yourself happier than ever.

Money

When most of us think of our dream career, it often involves a fairly large salary. But the truth is, you don’t need a bunch of money to find happiness in your work. If you have a family, then the cash does play a substantial factor. But focusing on money narrows your options and, more often than not, leads you to an unfulfilling job. Sometimes, your dream job is one that doesn’t offer a ton of money (at least in the beginning).

Maybe you’re currently in a job that pays more than the career you’re trying to get into. It may seem enticing to stay put, but that decision comes with serious long-term side effects that could leave you depressed and regretful.

Time

Going after your dream career takes a lot of courage, but it also takes up a ton of time. You get out of it what you put into it, and when it comes to making a career out of your passion, there’s a whole lot that’s required of you.

Free time is almost non-existent throughout a job search that requires you to constantly be networking, applying to companies, and interviewing. Especially if you’ll be moving to a new city, the amount of time and energy you need to spend getting everything in order seems endless.
