Is working at a non-profit your dream job? Or was it just the job that was open when you were looking?

I've never worked for a non-profit but I'd love the opportunity to.

I've always wanted to work with kids and families helping ease psychosocial stress, but the pay doesn't always make it feel like a dream job

I specifically left public accounting to work in a nonprofit. The nonprofit I went to was more what was available than intentional though I’m happy in the mission I support.

It was not my dream job. It was what was available at the moment. But after working at a non-profit it is very hard to go back to a for profit. It would be hard for me to go from selling "hope" to selling "jeans". And I have done both.
