Im 24, work in network security, and have been lifting since 2010. Honestly, there comes a time when 'making it brah' definitely isn't applied to lifting.
I remember when i started in 2010 with great enthusiasm; i ate right, i stuck with my gym schedule and routine, I pretty much made it my ultimate goal to be buff. That's okay when you're 18, because at 18 year olds think about getting buff more than starting early to develop his wealth. Now im 24 and lifting with the same intensity and dedication isn't for someone my age anymore unless im trying to make something out of it; i could drop 15% of my weight and still come out alright. It's just a funny realisation when you finish uni and you're out in the workforce, no one cares if you lift apart from the usual compliments and asking you for advice, but being buff doesn't hold the same value as when you're in uni/college anymore.

If you're still in uni, stick to lifting, when you're out of uni, you're going to have to change your priorities. It's like being the best DOTA player in high school, unless you're taking it to the competitive level to make something out of it, no one cares how good you are at DOTA at a certain point in life; it might even be looked down upon too.

Don't compare yourself to others, grass is always greener.
Lifting, aside from the strength, is like a small buff to alot of other aspects of your Life, and isn't that huge if an investment.

I always had this in the back of my head. But always remembered to take the way i treat and feel about lifting, towards every day hard work and reaching my career goals. I'm going to end up doing what I love (lifting) and use it as a side job (personal training) so I can make money and keep doing what I love, while progressing in other areas of life to make as much money as I can. I don't think i'll ever chanve my mentality.

Well sure but at post-uni age you should lay off the level of dedication and intensiy unless you need the body to make a living.
There's so much to do in life and spending an hour in the gym plus travel time 5 days a week + losing energy for other activities isnt worth it.

Funny how you mention dota. I was 6k in 2013 and was ranked #1 in NEL for a bit. Stopped playing completely a year ago and my life is a million times better.

Look, your personality really does come first.

Lmao, because I remember when dota was all the rage back in high school when i shouldve been lifting, i only realise it until it's too late.
