Why are you so conditioned to think that fancier titles and more and more money is the end goal of it all?

Because that's how the entire reward system is structured - ask management why they care about that stuff (money) and you will understand why people do it (money).
I have this insatiable addiction to food and shelter. If I could get over my addiction, not only wouldn’t I care about money, I wouldn’t be working.
Your apparent "need" for food and shelter is a social construct! Get out there! And by "out there", I mean out in the cold!
