This is interesting from a fiqh point of view.

What is a dream job?
For example I get a good salary and work as a technician at a university. I am relatively content...is this a dream job? As a Muslim should I be making myself suitable for a job? What is wrong with this. Well I can be very narrow in vision and only consider the good things that the university does....what about the bad things it does....should I continue to work there knowing that they help to create ways to kill others and make war, that they help to control and spy on society? Should I just accept this because I have to earn a living or should Muslims be attempting to collectively alter the world? All organizations that we might work for will be doing good and bad, we are happy to ignore the bad as long as we get a job.
