You don’t need a career goal to live. Some people’s lives can head into a different direction. There are other things in life besides the buying and selling of goods and services. It is nice to focus on such things if you have a clear and open space to do so or if your life has no direction, it can be a path to choose (one of many). It is hardly something to make or break your life. It’s sad that someone would think so. We have things in our life like human contact and building things that are not measured according to the rat race of buy and sell economy.
