Having this acceptance that you are doing a particular job for monetary benefits is purpose enough.
The real question is why do you feel the urge of finding purpose? Is there a dissatisfaction with the way things are going overall?
Usually it's only when things are off we tend to think more in these existential terms.
Next Steps
Consult an expert to help with the analysis of your current dilemma.

Firstly you need to analyse that you are pursuing this profession willingly or not. Finding yourself happy and contented or doing just for bread and butter because that can be the main reason of demotivation or lack of purpose many times despite having monetary benefits. Procrastination and overthinking are symptoms of stress and anxiety. I would suggest you to consult a Psychologist and discuss it in detail.
