Exactly. On one hand, the world needs all kinds of people with various strengths, skills, and talents. On the other hand, what a person is drawn to at one phase of their life may be different than what they seek at another time. As in choosing schools, extracurriculars, colleges, etc, it is about assessing the right "fit".
