Sense of Purpose

Great weekend with family at Nephews wedding, one of the funniest best mans speech I have ever heard. Chatting to another nephew about purpose in work. As a dedicated teacher he was enthusing about the buzz and sense of purpose it gave him. As a throw away he mentioned how we all need that sense of purpose even those coming from agnostic/ atheist position. I understand that sense of purpose when i hear him discussing his vocation, but for me when we use the word purpose in this context I have an automatic value judgement on the word. Does simply making money equate to a sense of purpose?
