Why "Dream Jobs" Are Often Nightmares

We're bombarded with messages about finding a job we're passionate about. But the truth is, "dream jobs" in exciting fields (think gaming, fashion, tech) often come with hidden downsides. These companies know people are eager to work for them, leading to lower pay, demanding expectations (unpaid overtime!), and even toxic work environments. High turnover and inexperienced management are common in these industries. Passion fades fast when you're forced to do something 40+ hours a week, often with little reward.
