Uh, no. I think they're identifying her for what she is. Immature. She's coming from a perspective where the world owes her a fulfilling career. Mature people think about changing themselves, not blaming their situation.
- md224 13y agoI think it's also possible that she's realizing that she owes herself a fulfilling career, and then she's taking steps to change her situation...?
- GuiA 13y agoWhat more could she be doing right now to change herself?
- nostrademons 13y agoActually, mature people think about bringing themselves into harmony with their situation. That usually involves both changing yourself and your situation. And I think that's what she's doing here. Simply changing yourself is a stop-gap measure: most people find out that it doesn't actually work long-term, because you can't actually change your true self. You can change your surface behavior, but if those conflict with your deeply-held values, those are going to leak through in times of stress, and you won't be able to do your job effectively. It's better to put yourself in a position where your values and your actions are in harmony: that's why they call it living with "integrity".
- muglug 13y agoNo, quite the opposite - she feels that the world/everyone around her said that she needs to make the most of her talents by working hard and then getting the most high-paying job. This is a fairly common feeling among "high-achievers", and sooner or later they all have an epiphany that what the world thinks is good for them is not necessarily what makes them happy. That epiphany is itself a fairly standard cultural trope which crops up (in other guises) in many a superhero movie.
