First world problems incoming:
I went to a highly ranked university and an elite preppy high school. The type of school where people would throw bitch fits for not getting into Harvard and complain about settling for Stanford or something. Everyone wanted to go to the best schools and be lawyers or consultants at big name firms. I got real sick of that shit and disassociated myself from that grind. I dropped out of my engineering program in Uni into librul arts, found myself a chill job after graduation that wouldn't leave me in poverty mode.
I told myself that if I just got a normal 9-5 day job I can tolerate/enjoy, get some hobbies, get jacked and bang some sloots, I'd be happy.
Browsing LinkedIn today I realized that my high school and college peers are way ahead of me. A lot are going to big name Med/law/business schools, others have some really cool jobs at big name firms. While I was chilling, they were studying getting into top 3 law schools and shit. Now I feel like I have to "upgrade" my life situation to catch up with these people even though I haven't spoken to a lot of them in years. On one hand having ambition is cool but on the other, shouldn't I not be comparing myself to others? What should I do?

B.e yourself

I'm in the same boat. I've watched sunsets over the Austrian alps, walked with elephants in Africa, shit my brains out backpacking in Asia. Experiences molded me who I am today, but that don't mean shit on an application list pool with 4.0's and fancy research projects. What am I doing with my life....

Don't compare yourself to others, OP. You've already said you don't like that lifestyle. People have different definitions of happiness and success. Find your own.

It's called the Fear of Missing Out and it happens to everyone especially now with the prevalence of social media. The point is if you're happy with your life don't let a metric like money be the deciding factor
