What do you want to do?

People ask...

What do you want to do?
And what will you do with that after graduation?
And why did you choose that?

They mean - how is what you are doing now going to get you where you want to be? How is it profiting you/why is it important?

I understand financial security. I understand making money for your future. I understand Roth IRAs and benefits and insurance. I understand the steps it takes to climb the corporate ladder and that we must become working members of society.

I don't understand how this is any measure of success.
I don't understand why I have to wait to do what I really want to do, until I don't have to worry about the things above. I will always have to keep those things in mind - but I don't have to focus on them. I think I can truly have it all - and my definition of that.
