According to the American culture of individualism, merit, and "dream." There are also gender and race schemas that fit into America's view of success.
I, however, measure success based on happiness, well being, and contribution. I chose my occupation based on what I can contribute and whether I could be happy doing the work that I do. I may never make a butt-load of money but I'll make enough to not be in debt, take care of my family, and to feed my shopping addiction.
