"Everyone* doesn't want to. Many people work their way up to a certain point and are happy where they are. Some people don't want any responsibility. Some people have limitless ambition.
I'm a "big picture" guy so I worked myself into positions where I decide large-scale direction. I'd have no interest in being like, a C-suite tho, because it is too removed from the impact of what I do. VP is basically my career goal.
