A "good job" is a job that rewards you well for doing meaningful work.
A job that doesn't reward you well or doesn't provide you with meaningful work will hardly ever be considered a long term "good job".

If we believe what Alfie Kohn tells us about rewards and their effect on intrinsic motivation, we might argue that the job simply has to compensate sufficiently to remove certain life stresses (i.e. the $75k per household minimum), while allowing the worker to make meaningful choices, create impact and increase skills (ideally in the Flow state of learning.) http://www.alfiekohn.org/blogs/evidence-incentives-fail/ http://www.alfiekohn.org/blogs/evidence-incentives-fail/
