This was as true in centuries past. You think everyone was an adventurous explorer and conqueror? Just as today, few men exemplified the Faustian spirit, the majority were unremarkable common laborers.

That is neither good nor bad; not everyone has to or should do this. Some people are happy with a certain station in life, and good for them. The Faustian Work Ethic is for those who are perpetually dissatisfied.
