Yeah the fact that people get "stuck" doing one thing or playing one specific role is a part of it for sure... but even more so, the very fact that the amount of $$$ is paramount in choosing what to do in the first place is rather destructive, or, at the very least, not inducive to personal growth, innovation and new discoveries (both about the person themselves as well as the outside world).
I guess my main point is that in theory, work should be something that you do because you can't not do it, and not because of having to pay the bills, but because of your inner voice, because of the sense of self-fulfillment it brings. You do it because it's a core part of who you are. And it's exactly the same as play - that's something Alan Watts talked about a lot and I wholeheartedly agree.
