Answer:
To be happy, I need more. To get more, I need to get rich. To get rich, I need a job. That is by far the biggest lie.
Get a job.
If we were all focused on creating jobs, we wouldn't be so busy helping our employers get rich. If you need one, by all means get one. They are great stepping stones. But we should always work towards a cause and be emotionally invested. Exchanging your time for only money is what ultimately devalues your time and you in general. It is exploitation of your most valuable resource. We shouldn't get comfortable in any job. Our goal should always be to eventually be in a position to create more of them. All employers want are workers that are complacent. However, complacency is against human nature and a fulfilling life. What we need is growth. If you are blessed to be capable enough, don't get a job. Create one, starting with yourself.
You need more.
No I don't. Stop trying to sell me something. It would be nice to have a Ferrari, but knowing I have exactly what I need is nicer. Before having more, what we need is good honest healthcare, to be able to properly educate our children, and to know that people have your back in times of need or emergency. What we really need more of is love, conversation, and peace. Society ruins all of these things the moment it gives them prices and turns them into markets. Why must we compete to get by when we must cooperate to get along? What we need more of is each other.
Get Rich
And by rich, I mean financially. All we have to do is get rich then happiness is a given. You are successful if you are rich. Women will flock to you if you are rich. Your friends will love you if you are rich. Your parents will be proud of you if you are rich. The world is your oyster if you are rich. But then why, oh why, are so many rich people so openly miserable? Why are they so busy? Why do lottery winners end up bankrupt? Why aren't those born into money always giddy? We are taught that money is the solution to all of our problems, but what if money is our biggest problem? What we need isn't a fatter wallet. What we need is a bigger heart.

More won't ever make you happy. You won't ever have enough. You won't
ever be rich just working a job. All you will have is a job until you
get fired or are retired, at which point you will have nothing.
A life long pursuit of money leads to a life exchanged for shiny objects and a hollow sense of self accomplishment. It is an inward spiral of self indulgence and self devaluation that ends in a big fat zero.
But there is hope........(Watch Out)
