 WHY IS MONEY SUCH A DRIVING FACTOR OF OUR CAREER?

This is a BIG question to answer, and one that we think applies to everyone in some shape or form. Society tells us to chase our dreams, do what we love. Never work a day in our lives but also make sure you're financially independent, that you have enough money to retire with and oh don't forget to make something of yourself in the process. 

It also tells us that chasing money with our careers is 'money hungry' and but also make sure we're not doing a career that pays us nothing. So, which one is it?
