I agree that happiness is not measured by titles and money, and society defines success in narrow (financial) terms. I am not a luxurious person, and lead a simple life financially. I don't like eating in restaurants, and I don't buy clothes all the time. Yet, I like to feel secure financially. These days, I am always worried that I will end up on the streets, or I'd have to do low skill jobs that I don't like and would consume my time and energy with little returns. Corporate jobs are not perfect, but they are the safest way to feel secure financially and to have benefits. Besides, although I don't think about it actively now, I would like to be ready when a romantic relationship appears as an option.
