I would probably agree with this a couple of months ago but I don't know any more. I just love meeting people, everyone is so different and interesting.
Your approach is great if the only thing that's going to make you happy is money and success but I've realised, only just lately for me, that it's not everything.
Just do what ever maximises your happiness and feeling of self-fulfilment. I'm sure money and success are great and can even be a source of happiness but I'm know if I was a millionaire tomorrow, I wouldn't feel content.
The second part gets a bit more complicated if you want to freelance or start your own company, but IMO you can still learn a lot early on "working for the man" that will help carry you forward in your own ventures.
