Life is short and slips away quickly. Use your abilities to further the things that mean the most to you, not on a possibly misguided sense of what you "should" be doing.
Reminded me of this quote often misattributed to Plato[0]:
"Be kind; everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle."
and Patrick Farley's version from his series "The Spiders"[1]:
"Show kindness to every person you meet. No matter how ill-tempered a man may seem, you have no idea what private agony he may secretly be struggling with."
