That's the whole point EY is making - in this very example money is the fungible currency of utilons. How much more satisfying? Satisfying enough to give up $X/year.
At least that much more satisfying, because at least that much money was given up.
This doesn't provide us with a way to establish a conversion between caring and money, because if someone was willing to turn down an arbitrarily-large salary at doing X to do Y instead, we can't calculate a ratio.
