You don't? Interesting, can you provide examples?
Myself, I don't know many (sane/rational) people who...
1) Don't want to eat, have shelter, or sleep.
2) Don't want to be secure in their persons, be employed, have money and be healthy
3) Don't want any friends/lovers/family.
4) Don't care about themselves, don't want to be respected, and hate freedom.
5) Have never studied or practiced or otherwise put effort into improving themselves or learning anything new in their entire life.
On the other hand, I have seen people of many different professions all fill in this hierarchy in their own way : eg. Farmers, programmers, truck drivers, airline pilots, industrial machine operators, mechanics, driving instructors, used car salesmen, bankers, managers, professors, train conductors... etc. Though every person is a bit different and thus their needs, wants, and ambitions, and their means of achieving them will differ too.
All these professions pretty much demand that you are constantly working up to the self-actualization level. (If only to keep up with the continuous march of progress.)
Perhaps you know people in some of these professions (or others) too?
