The Liz Moody Podcast · NYU Professor: The Career Happiness Formula (Get A Job You Love That Actually Pays $$$) · 24 Jun 2026 podcast

It's perfectly fine.

Wanting a job, wanting to have work is a value, okay?

So some people really have high, what I call work centrism, a desire to work, pleasure from working, an interest in work, and other people just don't.

And the world is capable of holding us all as long as we're not yelling at each other.

Well, I mean, I think that you don't have to work eight hours a day if you also don't care about money.

I mean, there are people who don't like work and they've accommodated that entirely by having incredibly simple lives or living in communities where it's very inexpensive and they get by on much less labor or they have some kind of passive income or whatever.

If you have to live in a place where you have to work eight hours a day and you hate it, I think that's too bad because eight hours a day is a lot of hours.

But I don't believe that everybody has to have a dream job.

Only people who love work should have a dream job and everybody else should figure out what matches their values and how they want to live their life.

There are trade-offs with every value.

In fact, one of the things that happens to me all the time with my students at NYU is they'll come up to me after they've gotten the results of their values bridge, where we test what their values are and rank order them.

And they'll say, Professor Welch, can you help me out with this?

My number one value is affluence, which is money.

But work centrism, which is how much they want to work, is like, that's sort of at number 13 or 14.

Is that a problem?

And I say, unless you've got inherited wealth, yes, it is.

Okay.

So if we really want to have huge affluence, but we don't want to work, that's just a tension that you can't get around.

And there's other values that are in conflict.
