I think your story is about a person who wouldn't take their dream job because they want more money and don't want to change.

Or perhaps someone who has learned that there is more to life than their job, and is making a prioritization decision accordingly.

		Perhaps. There is also more to life than your job, family, friends, and finding love. There's things like grocery shopping, washing dishes, and going on vacation. That doesn't mean we should settle into occupations we don't like. Like it or not, your work is going to consume a lot of your time, and we should strive to do something we enjoy and find meaningful if possible. In the parent comment it sure sounds like it is possible for them to pivot, and that they might find much more happiness and meaning if they do.
