社会学家给毕业生们的忠告：不要担心梦想

Happy Graduation, Seniors! Congratulations! What’s next? Below is some sociologically-inspired, out-of-the-box advice on work, love, family, friendship, and the meaning of life. For new grads from the two of us!

恭喜毕业，毕业生们!祝贺你们!接下来呢?下面就是我们二人给刚毕业的你们的建议，这些建议有关工作、爱情、家庭、友谊以及生活意义，既不落俗套，又具有社会学启发性!

1. Don’t Worry About Making Your Dreams Come True

不要担心实现梦想

College graduates are often told: “follow your passion, do “what you love, what you were “meant to do, or “make your dreams come true. Two-thirds think they’re going find a job that allows them to change the world, half within five years. Yikes.

毕业生们总被告诫要“跟随激情、“做自己热爱的事情、“做自己想做的事情，或者“让梦想成为现实。2/3的毕业生以为，五年之内，自己要干一份能够改变世界的工作。乖乖!

This sets young people up to fail. The truth is that the vast majority of us will not be employed in a job that is both our lifelong passion and a world-changer; that’s just not the way our global economy is. So it’s ok to set your sights just a tad below occupationalecstasy. Just find a job that you like. Use that job to help you have a full life with lots of good things and pleasure and helping others and stuff. A great life is pretty good, even if it’s not perfect.
