what is life like for them? It's truly sad when there's a mismatch between desire and ability - plenty of people are happy being "average" job and education-wise. but some people are strivers and aren't smart enough to do what they want. they feel like they are "better" than their current state. life must be really disappointing for them.

is it really the vast majority? a lot of people I know seem content...it's just a few outliers who think Fordham law isn't good enough or this tech company jerb isn't "name brand" enough, etc.

A lot of these people didn't really start striving hard until college. By that point, the returns to striving are a lot lower, since more people are doing it. But at least they got to have somewhat normal childhoods.

By contrast, lots of HYP undergrads were striving from preschool. And it paid off in a lot of ways, but at the cost of having a normal life.
