It helps to expose and explore some of the myths surrounding your dreamjob. Things can look pretty glamorous from a distance, but once you’re within spitting distance, you realize that this is not anything like it was advertised to be.

Myth: Your career is your life.
Reality: you will change your career five or seven times as a creative hero. The future is now and will be more like a project to project kind of journey. One job your whole life, it is often not possible. End of story.

Myth: Companies offer careers.
Reality: People create careers

Myth: You climb the corporate ladder from mailroom to boardroom.
Reality: Traditional career planning is useless today. The old rules are obsolute and paths that were once prominently marked are now grown over or washed away. Make your own path.
