I would think that if you pursued any job just with an attitude of "get yours and get out" where you were "entirely motivated by having a good paying job" you'd be... kind of miserable. Sure, a girl who loves working at bakery might be struggling to make ends meet; but if she's also genuinely happy with her career then what does it matter? Work is where the average person will spend most of their time, so I just don't think it's worth it to go into a field you hate in the hope that you can retire early.

"Sure, a girl who loves working at bakery might be struggling to make ends meet; if she's also genuinely happy with her career then what does it matter?" It matters because "struggling to make ends meet" is a lot of stress and can get in the way of a lot of things. It still might have been a better choice for her than taking an alternative path that would have exchanged that for a career she was miserable in, but it still matters.
