Are we insecure overachievers?

Hi people!

Hope You are doing well. I would like to know Your opinions about this case which I will write below:

"WSO community has very hardworking people who want good career for themselves. I really admire it and I am trying to be alike. But I wonder one thing. We here wonder whether our schools are target, whether our major is "good and relevant" enough, whether we have good EC and internships, whether our GPA is 3.5+, whether we have good networking skills etc. If cannot get IB internship, or good GPA we think that the world is over. But there are literally millions who do not care anything at all. Considering the general low-level of unemployment in most countries where WSO community people live, what do this millions of people who just don't care about their careers, academics do?"

Looking forward to interesting opinions.
Thank You.
