You can choose not to race.
Just provide for your loved ones.

A rat race is a term used for an endless, self-defeating or pointless pursuit. It conjures up the image of the futile efforts of a lab rat trying to escape while running around a maze or in a wheel. In an analogy to the modern city, many rats in a single maze expend a lot of effort running around, but ultimately achieve nothing (meaningful) either collectively or individually.
The rat race is a term often used to describe work, particularly excessive work; in general terms, if one works too much, one is in the rat race. This terminology contains implications that many people see work as a seemingly endless pursuit with little reward or purpose. . . .

It depends on what are your dreams, how much burdens do you have(wife, kids) If your job doesnt suit you, or too much politics, try finding a new one.

it's a trade off.
when u've nothing to worry about, like families and stuff
of cuz u can pursue ur dreams.

Whether you are in the rat race or not depends on you. Not on what others say.
If someone says you are in the rat race, thats their opinion.
As long as you work to the best of your ability, with the intention of providing for your family, you are ok.
But if you strive to beat all your friends, colleagues, and all in the field, for your own personal ego, then you are in the rat race.
