You shouldn't set long term goals to land a dream job. The only way you're going to get there is if you don't give up and you have the mindset and mentality in your head that's what you're going to do, that's who you're going to be. There is a percentage of people whom these terms are unrealistic.

For example. In achieving goals, dreams are set and chased. It could be short or long-term dreams, but whichever one; it is very necessary to work according to the set goals and actualize this dream. Dreams can change and goals can become obsolete in the future and it may become very unnecessary to even set goals because of this reason.
Another bad thing about setting long-term goals to achieve a dream job is your expectations can be too high. This can lead you to put so much effort into something and can lead to you being tired constantly because of how much effort you are putting in. Over time you can start to lose motivation because you are constantly studying and you want to quit.

This leads me to the SMART goal method.

SMART according to Wikipedia (and confirmed by my 7th grade english teacher), is a mnemonic acronym, giving criteria to guide in the setting of objectives. The S means specific and the M means measurable. Possibly the most common version has the remaining letters referring to achievable (or attainable), relevant, and time-bound.

According to Forbes.com, "...some of those criteria (like Specific and Measurable) are perfectly fine. But other parts (like Achievable and Realistic) make SMART goals pretty dumb. Why? Because too often they act as impediments to, not enablers of, bold action, and actually encourage mediocre and poor performance."

This information means that SMART goals aren't consistently reliable.

In conclusion, You shouldn't set long term goals to land a dream job.
