Ask any degreed person what their dream job is. Most will tell you something very different from what they do. Inevitably, they'll rationalize their good job, good benefits, and livable salary. It that really living? The trap of education is that most people feel compelled to do something related to what they've studied and never digress, even though that education had little to do with their dreams. Too much risk, too difficult. Except for doctors or lawyers, most people who live their dreams put little stock in their formal education. Instead these dreamers concentrate on their experiences and the acquisition of requisite knowledge, both which mostly occur outside the formal educational system.
