Identifying your dream job and the path that will take you there is both a challenge and an opportunity. But by following a realistic step-by-step "vacationing" process (outlined below), you can pursue your interests and passions to the job of your dreams. 

    確認你的理想工作和通向理想工作的路是一個挑戰也是一次機會。遵循下面實際有用的步驟，你就能追尋自己的興趣和激情、獲得理想工作。

    7. Establish Thresholds 建立“門檻”

    The biggest reason we pursue our dream job is to increase our life satisfaction. It is important to understand how much risk, challenge, and uncertainty you can tolerate before the life-satisfaction goal becomes blurred by the process. The vocationing process is as much about what you learn on the journey as the rewards when you reach your destination. 

    我們追尋理想工作的最大原因是提高生活滿意度。了解在追求迷失目標之前你能夠承受多少風險、挑戰和無常。在這個追尋過程中所學到的東西和你到達目的地時的獲得的獎勵一樣重要。

    8. Think Big, Start Small 大處著眼，小處著手

    You don't have to quit your 9-to-5 job to pursue your dream job. Obligations and concerns may take you down a less-than-direct path. It may take months, not weeks; years, not months. If you are patient and creative, you can keep your career transition moving forward. 

    你不必辭職來追尋理想工作。職責和憂慮也許會讓你走上一條不那么順暢的路。這個過程可能需要數月甚至數年的時間。如果你有耐性和創造力，就能向著你的事業變遷（更換到理想工作）不斷前進。
