This morning, a language partner asked me if I liked my job. This is a question that is hard to answer. People should have a job for living, so they must have a job, but the job they do is not necessarily their favorite. To be honest, my current job is only my living support. It is hard to say whether I like it or not. Things that I like the most are still doing business and making money. Even if you are a civil servant, you are still an employee, only your boss is the country. As an employee, you can’t be rich in your life and your salary is just able to support your living. Besides, in every aspect you can’t do things according to your opinion. If you run a business, you can act according to your own will and make a lot of money. In my opinion, if you think you are a person with great ability, you better be a businessman rather than be a civil servant.

People should have a job for living, so they must have a job, but the job they do isneed a job to make a living, but it may not necessarily be their favorite.

Your original sentence is understandable. But I suggest a different phrase – "need a job to make a living" – to make the idea I think you're expressing here more clear.

To be honest, my current job is only my living supportto support my needs.

You could also say, "To be honest, my current job is just to pay my bills." This means, I'm just doing my job to pay for the things I need (my rent, food, etc.) but not because I like it.

As an employee, you can’t begrow rich in your life and y. Your salary is just able to support your living.
