Nothing wrong with it. I just don’t think it is what most people would call “making it.” I personally consider “making it” being happy with what you’re doing,

Nothing wrong with it. I just don’t think it is what most people would call “making it.” I personally consider “making it” being happy with what you’re doing, even if most other people wouldn't consider it "making it." But if you're someone who goes through the effort to lie about working for NASA and all that, I'm guessing this wasn't their idea of making it.
