I think everyone has a 'higher' ambition in the sense of "this is what I like to do". Even people in shitty situations have things they would rather be doing than working their job. I agree that only people born with privilege think that supporting yourself while only doing what you want is a viable option, but that is kinda my point.

Not everyone likes doing things. It's one of the reason depression is so common in people with a lot of free time.

I wish this was true. It was once true if everyone I interacted with, but that was self-selection bias. I opened up my bubble and found plenty of people that have absolutely no ambition whatsoever. I don’t know if they never had it, or if it just got drilled out of them due to circumstances, but there it is.
