People Who Are Obsessed with Success and Prestige
I have the opposite problem. I have zero drive for status &amp; prestige, but rather follow my passions no matter how unfashionable they are.<p>And it hurts my career. I don&#x27;t have twitter followers who fall over themselves to offer me a job the very second I enter the job market. I can&#x27;t shame a company or other big entity for behaving badly. I have very little leverage for many important career-improving opportunities because I lack the social clout to take advantage of them.<p>You NEED to attain some status and influence if you want the best control over your destiny. I&#x27;m trying to do this now, but it&#x27;s hard because it doesn&#x27;t come naturally.
