You don't have to start with your dream job, and your idea of what the dream job might be will change during a working life that will have its share of ups and downs, setbacks and advances.

I do wish I'd had a better career. Who wouldn't?

That's where I want to be. Do your dream job and stay in Atlanta. Check and check!
