Is having a high end career worth it?

Hey biz,
I'm currently a grad student in one of the top institutions in the world studying rare diseases. There is a classmate of mine who is an absolute overachiever who already has a MD, scored perfect on the GRE, and afaik she scored perfect on every exams we took together. She was a good friend of mine as we were the only two koreans in the program. There is a phenomenon called "jeong", you can look that up if you want. Today I found out that she quit school without telling anyone. At first I thought she quit because she is in her late 20s and already has a husband who is a doctor so maybe she wanted to have babies. But knowing her and her passion for research, I knew that wasn't it. I speculated more and I came to the conclusion that she probably transferred to a better school with better networks. This was so surprising because she works with one of the most famous investigators in the world. I was thinking, how the fuck do you top that? When this thought came to pass, I was hit with all sorts of emotions including jealousy and insecurity because it was so sudden and unexpected. I finally understood the cliche that goes something like "the people who don't want you to succeed will always drag you down back to their level" because I became "that" guy in the cliche. Like I said, I'm speculating because she ghosted everyone by changing her number and she doesn't have any forms of social media whatsoever. Anyway, I want to feel happy for her because she is trying to better her career and I should be supportive of that. Thanks for reading. Inb4 "not reading your blog faggot"

A question for possible discussion if you found my post interesting or relevant:
If you /makeit/ with crypto, would you care about developing your career and enjoying the social status that comes with having these high end careers?

I am a dentist and I was happy when I turned 5k into 150k from march-june last year. Nothing will ever come close to that .

Spotted the status cuck

Truly the most pathetic people who only live for their “title”, I mean if you enjoy the lifestyle of your career being your life that’s fine

Top lel at people who live for nothing more than to be a wagecuck

Your grave gonna be just as deep as everyone else’s OP

Maybe she got a govt job

What the fuck are you rambling about you retard cunt? Some girl left and that caused you to have an identity crisis? Jesus Christ, the absolute state of you my man. Get a grip

Status is a spook. Ignore it if it is causing you harm. The tangible and the spirit of the self is all that matters. Use status as a spook to abuse other people if you desire to

The prestige isn't worth it in most cases (counterpoint: politics), but the money from a good career is absolutely worth it.

I admit I do have a thing for status. But don't we all? Just look at the people buying lambos with their crypto returns
So you don't think it's a big deal to you. Maybe I do need to just get a grip. I'm just trying to better myself user.
Status gives me pleasure in knowing my hard work paid off and I can have the people who were at my position 10 years ago look up to me and be a positive motivating force for them. There is a bit of ego involved in it as well

But if you already have a few mil from crypto wtf do you need more money for?

> I want to feel happy for her

You would cry and be mad at yourself if you had found out she is pregnant with Chad and living it up in his lakefront mansion
