Would you rather be doing something else with your life?

Are you working somewhere you either don't want to be working, or would rather be doing something else with your life instead?
I work for a successful real estate office as a staff member doing marketing for the agents. But my dream is to become a real estate agent myself someday. But in order to get my license, I can't be an employee for the office, which means I would have to quit my job! That's very scary to me, because then I wouldn't get paid until I start earning commission checks. But I am bound and determined to save my money in order to follow my dream. In fact, that is 1 reason why I joined myLot. I know it's not much, but it's better than nothing at all.
Have you ever been in a situation like this? Have you already made your dream a reality? Tell me your story!

I have been working on graduate school application portfolios for about a year. I am having a really difficult time getting them together because they have to be spectacular. I am working paycheck to paycheck at a screen printer shop doing graphic arts for about half of what I would be paid if I were doing it freelance. If I really knew what I was doing. But, since I don't I have to settle for $10.50 an hour.
I just want to get out of this town and get into a career as a writer, which I have wanted to do since I was a little kid.
....Who knows? Maybe meet a Mister somebody, fall in love and have my dream wedding to go with my dream career.

Thank you so much for the response! All I have to say is keep on working towards your dream! No amount of time is too long to make your dream a reality. Times can be tough for everyone, but people always tell me everything will be ok. The sky is the limit when it comes to what people can do to make their dream a reality. Good luck in all that you do!
