We know thatyou love your job. (Hey, you're probably reading this at work, and we wouldn't want to give your boss the wrong impression.)
But maybe you have a, em, "friend" who's constantly dreaming of something different, the type of job that doesn't feel like work, a job that you'd almost pay someone to let you do.
Kiplinger's takes a look at people who have real dream jobs, like being a Lego artist, personal major league pitching coach or jewler to the stars.
Of course, most of us don’t actually expect to spend our work lives pitching to major leaguers, draping Gwyneth Paltrow with diamonds or living year-round in a national park. But we can all learn a thing or two about how the people who do these and other to-die-for jobs find themselves in such enviable positions.
The most important things to do: Hone your skills, show initiative and have a bit of luck.
