I feel like a lot of career advice that I read is about the "upward" trajectory. And yeah, growing your responsibility and pay and achievement is a great and valid path, but it's far from the only one worth pursuing. 

And it's not the only way to have a successful and fulfilling life? Your career success shouldn't be at the expense of something vital. 

Every job has its good and bad aspects, and every job is just a piece of your bigger life's picture.

I've noticed this too. Awhile ago I made a conscious choice to try to identify and emulate the people I knew who seemed happiest, and it didn't necessarily correlate to material success!
