Work can be very rewarding, especially if it is the type of work that you enjoy. If you're not getting paid your true value for your expertise, the time you put in, and other efforts that you make (creativity, patience, tolerance of difficult work conditions, etc.) then you likely will not find the happiness you seek there. Also the "grass is always greener" phenomenon may influence your job satisfaction. Look at the different aspects of your career that you see as important, and factor those things into your job expectations. When you find appropriate levels of satisfaction in the most important of those factors, your search will likely be over. Also, consider the other areas of your life with respect to happiness. If you prioritize them (for example, health vs. work vs. personal relationships), you may find that you're enjoying the higher priority, more relevant life areas and be happy with the choices you've made. Thanks for your comments.

Your comments about work are so true. How many people do we know who can truly say they are "happy" at work. I believe we should aim for happiness in all areas of our lives, but at work sometimes I just think feeling appreciated and being grateful to have a job are important things to remember.
