To be honest..these days..is there even a "normal"? I can understand if it's a career 'mold' you're wanting to fit into,but even then..what do you do after the work day? Just try to be your best self in all aspects of life,to the best of your ability and F' the 'norm'..that's done pretty well for me. There are people that hate me for living MY life that way,but that's their problem.
