so really you're trying to muddy the waters but you know i'm right

We're not talking about evolutionary psychology (seeing as how you never mentioned it, and didn't frame your argument in those terms until right now). We're just talking conscious motivation. You're moving the goal posts.
The ultimate, deep down motivation for getting a job in the first place may lie in the basic need to obtain resources, but human psychology is far more complicated than that, and defining motivations
purely by how it serves survival is lazy and reductive.
