None of my jobs have ever defined me. I see those jobs in my past as nothing more than a means to an end, money. I was unsatisfied and resigned to focus on my college studies. Right now, I am dabbling in online marketing endeavors, and while it is more enjoyable to work on my own terms, it does not define me in the least.
I don't believe any job, whether it is a dream or a nightmare, should function as one's sole identity. Every human being is infinitely more complex than the aspects of any particular job, and for that job to define them, they would need to drop all other activities and hobbies that they enjoy. Who would be willing to do that? Very few, I'm sure. Interests alone do not add up to the whole of a person, regardless of whether or not they are paid for those interests.
