It's definitely up to US what we do. But 90% of the workforce is doing something with no depth that they'll never truly be rewarded for; they've been brainwashed to think this is all there is to life, and that there really are no alternatives. And to most people, perception is reality. I'm happy for you that you've found something that you enjoy, though.
