The argument is that money is uncorrelated to "job-satisfaction" which is believable, but using that to somehow conclude that you'd keep chasing "job-satisfaction" after no longer needing a job doesn't make any sense.
Of course there are plenty of other things that can make a well-paying job unpleasant. But the very idea of "job-satisfaction" presupposes a job in the first place. Why would anyone who didn't need a job care about how satisfying a particular job is? There are many ways to achieve a sense of self-worth besides grinding away in a cubicle to make someone else rich.

I kind of read it that many people don't know of any other way to achieve a sense of self worth. They've worked for so long and it has become such a big part of their identity that they don't know what else to do with their time.
