 because they find their work so rewarding, and because they have invested so much time and effort to reach their goal.
On the other hand
, people find happiness in their working lives in different ways.
Firstly
, not everyone dreams of doing a particular job, and it can be equally rewarding to try a variety of professions; starting out on a completely new

Secondly
, some people see their jobs as simply a means of earning money, and they happy if their salary is high enough to allow them to enjoy

Finally
, job satisfaction if often the result of working conditions, rather than the

For example
