Re: Do you consider yourself ambitious

(Anonymous) 2013-07-28 02:38 am (UTC)(link)
I guess not really, but a little? I was ambitious enough to get a master's degree and keep looking for a job in my field, but now that I have one, I find I have no desire to go further. I love what I do and I've seen too many people push themselves to get to the top only to realize it isn't very fun up there. When you're the boss, you spend all of your time being the boss and no time doing the things that attracted you to that line of work in the first place. (Unless being the boss was what attracted you. For reference: I'm a scientist, not a business school graduate.)

I get very irked by people who think being successful means you've exhausted all options for gaining rank and prestige and making money. It's like when sonmeone posted here a while ago saying she/he worked in a doctor's office and people would assume that meant she/he wanted to be a doctor. The implication is that there is always another rung on the ladder and you're supposed to want to climb it. I say, if you enjoy what you do, you can live comfortably, and you're happy, then you're successful.
