That is a sad way of looking at it and that's not what the bible teaches. She hasn't had very good instruction.
I know you aren't religious, but you are very spiritual and it's not that big of a difference really. The teaching is that God didn't put us on the earth 'to be happy', he put us here to live for him and through him and that inevitably leads to happiness and contentment. The ultimate glory and happiness will come after death but that doesn't mean we shouldn't or can't be happy on earth as well. As long as you strive to understand God's will for your life, you will ultimately be happy.
Yeah, I know the concepts but living them is a whole other ball game! LOL
Other than keeping the financial aspect as steady as it can be, there is absolutely no reason to keep working where you feel like you can't grow. What kind of jobs did you apply for? Are they more creative? Have you looked more into life coaching? I seriously think you would be excellent!
