Good advice for those of us striving for levels 3-5 (as the vast majority of ycnews readers probably are)...
Stop and imagine how pretentious such advice will be to those - the majority of the population - who are still trying to achieve level 1 and 2. "Follow your dreams" is great advice for those of us who aren't in immediate danger of starving; the worst that can happen if we fail at achieving our dreams will be that we have to settle for a job we find boring and unfulfilling - not a job that's low-paying or dangerous, and definitely not in danger of ending up on the streets.
Not disagreeing with the article, just a bit of perspective... I personally am grateful that I have the opportunity to aim for the top of the pyramid, but many people don't have the luxury to be picky about how they're putting food on the table.
