Sometimes when you get to do what you want to do, then you decide it is not the best thing for you! I left the IT management consulting thing that was my target job a few years before to work in the media industry (IT but I had no previous experience of broadcasting stuff).
Being able to get home in the evening became more important to me than it was when I was younger. Now I have kids I don't know how the wives of those that work away manage (unless they have paid help or very helpful family close by).
There are times to work your arse off, then you'll get sick of it. You may want to travel the world, or you may want to have a home life. You may want to earn lots on money and pay other people to do stuff, or yo might be a control freak and happier with less cash! It's all a personal choice, and can change as you age. We are lucky in the UK as we can change careers more easily than a lot of other countries.
