My job doesn't define me in the sense that if someone looked at only my job, he could see me. On the other hand, I'm trying to change careers because I want to find something I'm passionate about, something that I believe is worthy of a large portion of my life. I'm seeking a life which will strongly define me, but it still won't completely define me. For the rest, you'd have to look at my interests and my friends, and then sit down and have some beers with me.
It's up to each individual to place his or her priorities. I've decided that it's important that I do something with my job that I'm proud of. Others see their jobs differently, and that's okay. It's their life, after all. At some point, I had to stop living up to other people's expectations and spend time figuring out what I wanted.
