I don't think a target like "fun, socially beneficial, and lucrative" becomes harmful or worth discarding simply because not everyone achieves it. For starters, doing something not-fun, but socially beneficial and lucrative seems like a good thing, if that is someone's choice. Also fun, not socially beneficial, and lucrative (assuming the job is not socially harmful), such as esports doesn't seem like a problem to me.
