What do I want from a job?

I was introspecting today to figure out the real inner drivers towards a job for me. This is what I could identify!

Factors influencing the job that I want to do - fundamental questions

1)it shud have hi quality people/ information around me
2)it shud be beneficial to society/ country
3)it shud give me good money
4)it shud prepare me for the future
5)it shud have variety, not monotony
6)it shud have flexible work times/ long leave
7)it shud be intellectually stimulating
8)it shud affect/influence large section of society

the reasons for the same as I could understand were respectively:

1) so that I learn and be a better person/professional
2) so that I perform with conviction
3) so that I can have financial security
4) Whatever I am learning should substantially help me in my BIG PLAN of life
5) so that I am learning newer things frequently
6) so that I can balance work-personal life and recharge myself
7) so that I can peak my faculties and feel properly "used"
8) it would make me feel "powerful" and worthy

I then assigned weights to individual reasons and tried to fit in various jobs that I could have / may have had earlier to realise which ones are the best fit! Is my reasoning right? Does this list need editing?

your views are welcome! :-)
