Very insightful article, Gwendolyn. There’s a big difference between looking at a job or profession and thinking “Gee, that must be a neat job/career!” vs. “Gee, that would be a great fit for me!” We all have to come to grips with the “paper vs. reality” puzzle in our lives, but never more so than with the first job or two out of school. I often tell my career coaching clients, “Figuring out what you don’t want to do is just as important as deciding what you do want to do. Nothing is lost by that learning opportunity, unless, as you point out, someone stays in a job that isn’t right for him/her out of inertia or fear. Your article reminded me of a Robert Louis Stevenson quote, which also relates to cards: “Life is not a matter of holding good cards, but of playing a poor hand well.” Because sometimes our “reality check” will bounce.
