top grades does not mean I can do finance or consulting....

although a LOT of my peers went into Finance...

my job got not much stress because I don't really want to climb up anymore... no need to see anybody's face...

no big housing loans, decent pay, play with my kid everyday, go vacation twice a year, live in a nice house, etc.

I mean how long can one live. I don't want to start to enjoy life only after 50 years old or something.

I know people who earn much more than me but don't really "enjoy" life. maybe they like working. Or they will stay in small flat/condo and buy 2nd property for rental.
