Non financial career goal #1

There has been more than one occasion when i talk to an Intel's engineer regarding career growth, its always associated with financial growth. There was one occasion that I was attacked due to my mind set of working because of loving my job. I would really really understand that the job we go to is to get our salary. Even my self is relying solely on the pay check that I get to support life. However, I feel that if my career goal tied to a financial goal, I will not have the drive to improve my self beyond the score of the current job assignment. This might sounds good for those with the thought of loyalty, sticking to their job for the next 46 years and became as dead wood until retirement. However Im a very ambitious person which always giving my self ridiculous goal such a becoming ceo of intel after 35 years, establishing my own universities are among the higher level on the expectation. This might sound crazy, however I feel that by having those goal, my mind was set to achieve the level of mindset and knowledge I.e. technical, financial, marketing ONLY. I feel that is not enough. There was a saying, aim for the star. If you fall short, you will land on the moon. By having crazy ambition, will crate extra force pushing you to the limits. This will allow the limited visibility of an engineer to be widen and enhanced and thus improving other skill other than short term skills.
