As someone who has never really had a "dream job" I get where you are coming from. For me, personally, I have to enjoy my job. Not every day because that's not possible. We are human and being human means that you are going to have bad days. I do enjoy my job most days and that's huge for me. It takes awhile to find a job where you get along with most of the people and at the very least don't mind the actual day to day job duties. For me personally also, I am an emotional and sensitive person to my core, so it's hard for me to have a stressful job and a stressful personal life outside of work. That's one of the reasons why I like my job now is that I can move at my own pace and no one is bothered by it. I can learn at my own pace and no one makes fun of me for that. I know how lucky I am. I think as long as you are happy in your job, who cares what other people think of your job? As long as you can pay the bills, who care what job you have?
I don't know if that's what you are looking for in an answer...

I live in a developing country too. And got masters. After doing regular job ( core education), now I have switched to teaching. It's way of understanding your ability and what you like the most. Teaching is always good. Though it's both art and science. Mindset has changed,demand has changed so it demands patience, discipline and care all at same time. So don't join it because it's easy or low pay or save future..if you give reason for choice, the reason will end if you get bored or frustrated or disappointed.. go for it..try..learn. check..then decide. Save yourself,you save the world :) * world is in trouble because intelligent people are confused and idiots are full of confidence* ;)

LittleCreates: If you have to accept a job that is not your dream job then do it. In some countries workers will get stigmatized by their job and it's hard to move up to a better one once they accept one that is considered low-skills. That's really sad isn't it? I hope whatever you do that you have an opportunity for advancement and aren't stuck with the first job you settled for. Job satisfaction is not just about money but about doing what you feel is important in life, being treated with respect and dignity, being able to use your skills and education and feeling like you are making a difference to the place where you are working. A lot of things to consider...and I know that money is important too.

Whatever floats your boat.. depends on your choices or what you enjoy, expectations,education and availability. If you enjoy your work then nothing else matters but the self easily gets bored or feels a routine monotonous,society or friends may ask you to go higher (usually post or payscale), imitation game..in such cases one may forget his interest and start changing works..also your boss matters a lot.. they say " don't chose a job, chose your boss" ..because at the end of the day you must enjoy what you did and money you earned.

Some jobs are much more stressful than other jobs, unless you've had one of those hair-pulling stressful jobs you can't really understand...they say when you love what you do for a living you don't work a day in your life.

@chero well apart from a dream job, i am talking about jobs to keep up with ourselves, to not just sitting around, should we join a low paid teaching job in such case?

The choice is up to you.
If you decide to get an education n get one of those higher paying jobs. Remember people get paid more because the work is more challenging. You could work in a store They throw all kind of hours at you payvyou little can be stressful..n you live kiks crap..been there n done it
