Jane says
When Jane runs into Bessie before leaving to Thornfeild, she asks about her relative. She seems to compare the last eight years of her life to the last eight years of their life. Do you think she was content with what she had experienced over what they may have experienced, not base on success.

I think she was very content with how her life was at that point. She wouldn't have wanted to spend anymore time at Gateshead then she had. She didn't fit in with them, because their lives were so different. So I think she was fine with the direction her life had gone.
I think she is happy to be where she is and away from them, knowing things could have ended up much worse.
I also feel that Jane was content. She struggled a lot before Lowood, but I think she knows it would have been much worse for her if she would have continued to living at Gateshead. I do feel that she was pleased with where she was in life, especially later in the book when she hears about her cousins lives, and what has become of them.
It was mentioned in the book that Jane would rather live at Lowood then Gateshead. I believe that Jane did not need the luxuiries of life to be happy.
Her cousins live a life of plush and silver spoons. The way they view growth is going to be different then that of Jane. She is more than likely, at very least, humbled by the road she has taken and the trials she has endoured. The ideas she has now manifested have shaped her into the Jane we read of now.She seems well enough content.
Jane may have been happy with what she has accomplished. But she also expresses that she wants a little change in her life, something different. Her cousins have traveld more and probably had many other expirences that Jane never has. one example is her cousins love affair, where the two tried running off together. I think she isn't quite fully satisfied, thats why she wants to get out and try something different.
