Do career oriented people seem to be the ones that do better in life?

I just notice how people who have a career goal in mind from early on in life seem to do better in everything, including love. They have an identity for themselves. I'm just so jealous of them. I have never known what I want as a career and have never been good at anything..so as a result, I have no love life either and no money. and I'm in my 30s and that makes it worse.
 
i know how you feel. I was going nowhere in my 30's, then I decided to make a change and follow my dreams(which I had started awhile back). some people think career-minded is the way to go ....but the pursuit of money ...can leave you feeling pretty empty for decades. that means every decision you make is based on money and materialistic need ...which tends to interfere with what'struly important in your life.
If you talk to any important figure ...Oprah, Buffet, Steven Hawkins ..even tiger ...they tell you that they followed their dreams and they pursued the thing they felt most strongly about in their life(not money!!!!).
the greeks did not write an bio at the end of a person's life ...they just asked "did the person had PASSION????" what's yours .....
 
You are really in danger of not being happy when you compare yourself to others, especially if you do this with people who have had advantages that are 100 times more available to them than you. Listening to people who keep putting you down, because you have no money is unfair on you. and there is plenty of them out there, who think the world is all about money. I have seen the most thick, and stupid people have money, given to them by parents and conditions they did not work for, and have the ugly audacity to bragg about it, these people are weak of virtue, and character, you see it all the time. Pigs do fly. They love to blow their own trumpets, and I have seen slags who when meeting a person of better quality, mob together to degrade a good person, they have the skills and virtues they have not got, and are jealous of what they don't have and resent it. People with money tend to be very cliquey, sometimes shallow, and indifferent, not superhuman. Behind the veneer, they are not happy, it's a lot of posing, and front window dressing.
 
That depends a lot on your point of view and what you consider as doing better.

I have a friend who quit a 100,000+ a year job because he wanted to climb mountains. He has no love life and little money but he is happier now than he ever was in his so called career.

I think it is more about having a dream and following it, than it is about comparing yourself to others.
