More Than a Pipe Dream
The term "pipe dream" has come to refer to a dream that someone wishes they could achieve, but realistically thinks they never will achieve. But in spite of this, there are people who actually dream of real pipes. They are called plumbers, and their career dreams are very much within their reach. To be a plumber, you do need to go to trade school, and you do need to spend some years apprenticing and learning the job. However, this is a realistic career path for almost anyone who wants to follow it. This is a good pipe dream to have.
