"Follow your dream" and other terrible career advice

‘Follow Your Dreams’ and Other Terrible Career Advice - WSJ

The real problem is that too many of us, young and not so young, have been told too many lies about what it takes to succeed at work—and not nearly enough truths. All those bright, shiny aphorisms that are spoon-fed to young employees, like “follow your dreams” and “know your worth” and many more? Well, the truth is that they don’t really work at work. 

“Follow your dreams” is the exhortation of many college commencement speeches, but it is nightmare job advice.
