Happiness versus money

You know, you can have a job that lets you make tons of money, but if you are not happy there, then you might as well be poor. My sister (hereafter known as DS) is a day care assistant. She is good at it and she likes it, but she does not make much money. She just got a call from the public school system about a part-time paraprofessional job opening. And all she got from her S.O. and our mom was not to get her hopes up. Her S.O. wants her to get a job at the post office. D.S. would be miserable at the post office. She has a realistic view about her finances. Why can't people realize that sometimes a job is not just about the money? Even if she cannot take the job, its worth it to call and interview and GET HER NAME OUT THERE! I am finished venting. I am frustrated for her. FYI-I was excited for her.
