As a lot of the comments suggest you can either be stoic about your job or stoic about your own aspirations. Choose wisely as the wrong choice can bring miserable: Being stoic about ones job never caring about aspirations might lead to cynicism and a dead soul.

This is a subject I deeply care about. Throw me an email if you want to talk deeper!
