Workers of the World, Relax

Alain De Botton's book, Workers of the World, Relax, emphasizes the necessity of jobs to life. It shows that work has gone to the point that many people can never get the job of their dreams for fear of losing income in an attempt to get there. This once again backs the idea that money=happiness. I don't agree with this way of life because I have been given the opportunities to take risks to work towards the job I want. How many minimum-wage restaurant or retail employees really love their job? but how many of them can afford to quit and go back to school or risk not succeeding at a better job? Money controls modern-day society to an extreme but is there any way to fix it?
