Summary/Abstract: Work can be a source of human happiness and joy. However, to make this possible, it should fulfil several criteria. In the world of consumption, the most important criteria of a good work is a high salary. The Happiness, which the work can give to a human being, is measured by the content of one’s wallet. A dream work for a consumer is a work which is interesting, well‑ paid, not connected to one place, and giving a lot of free time and freedom. The article shows that such a work is not available for all, and a dream about it makes a regular/average working man unhappy.
