[The Magicians] Classically trained magicians end up secluded and bored. Hedge witches are active and intensely focused. Why is that?

Shouldn't all magical people eventually level out and sorta give up on life?  Why don't more of them try to fix or take over the world?

You only become a Hedge Witch if you've got magical potential and were 

A) Denied/booted from a magical school and had the tenacity to retain your memory.

or 

B) Didn't want to go to one at all, but still wanted to pursue magic.

People who fall into either of these categories are extremely driven. Look at Julia. She carved it into her skin! While she was immensely talented, everyone who manages to become a Hedge Witch got that far because they're incredibly driven. It isn't that Hedge Witches are just naturally active and focused, it's that you *need* to be active and focused to use magic+survive outside of academia.
