For those that say success != happiness, I'm on your side but... know your worth, don't let others leech off your work, not give you adequate pay, or dangle promises of a promotion for years on end. It's one thing to like what you do and be happy doing it and it's another thing to be successful. It is my opinion that people will bank off your talents if you let them and I think that that will eventually make any person unhappy and possibly kill your drive for doing what you like.
