I wonder why that is....

Why is it always the people at the top of the industry that are "anti-careerists".

America is probably a careerist culture. It wasn't until I made friends overseas when I learned American careerism is often frowned upon internationally.

However, it is rather easy to proclaim yourself to be an "anti-careerist" when you're already an industry power player. Talk about not being aware of what you actually have in reality.

That's like Bill Gates taking a vow of poverty or something. Kind of weird. All the people I grew up knowing were careerists. My friends and everyone in my family. It wasn't until recently that I encountered the whole "anti-careerism" thing...
