Is There a Need to Be Needed Out of a Deep Feeling of Not Being Good Enough?

I always grew up wanting to be a doctor and never wanted to be anything else. I did work as a high school teacher for a while. In retrospect, my ADD kept me from studying hard enough to be a physician. And there is, you just can't help but realize as a doctor, you'll be fairly well financially secure. Which for a refugee kid from Eastern Europe was a consideration.
