There just are some people who don't care about career and money. They need money to pay their checks but they don't spend a second thinking about it any other moment. Some people are even more weird and hate specializing and planning, they just do whatever comes into their hand. CSS this, Verilog that, organize a team, interview some candidates, train some sales, build an office network (cabling + rack + AD etc), do some email tech support, proofread some contracts, design some boxes, walk a boss' dog, whatever, don't care, here and now, on and on, year by year, from the day they're in a high school to the day they look like Dumbledore. This is a legitimate way of life for those who are fortunate enough to be uninterested in alcohol. Money- and status- hungry people don't understand this mindset. They are here to sacrifice their young years doing whatever it takes specifically to grow rich step by step and nothing else, then gtfo. But some people just live, have simple fun and feel no urge to change anything. Someone would say this is out of accord with the American spirit but in fact it's just another kind of it, like that H. D. Thoreau wrote about.
