The curse of a Stanford MBA

I keep being told that I'm over-qualified for jobs and roles that I would like to do... Grrr. A friend recently asked me if all my career choices consisted of roles where there was the constant pressure for upward mobility and continuous career progession. Isn't that what is expected of a Stanford MBA? Wouldn't I be bored if it was any other way? What if I got my kicks and stimuli from other aspects of my life... could I survive with a more humdrum job?
