In this episode of the Dream Job Equation, host Ben Passman contends that it's possible to rediscover the career aspirations you had as a child and blend them with your adult professional skills. He maintains that over time, many shelve their early ambitions for more practical jobs out of financial necessity. However, Ben shares examples of those who fused their grown-up talents with longtime passions—like an accountant who now handles finances for animal shelters. Even if you can't totally switch fields, he suggests outlets like volunteer work or side businesses. Passman argues it's never too late to reconnect youthful enthusiasm with your calling. By getting creative, you can find renewed purpose, reward and joy in your work.
