I acquired this belief through my observations of the employability and overall contentedness of people, with their lives, that study in this field.

Asides from commas it is grammatically correct but this is such an awkward sentence. It just reads badly. It needs to be rewritten.

> The employability and happiness of people in this field gave me this belief.

>I came to believe this after observing the employability and personal contentment of people who study in this field.

Too lazy to drag out my grammar textbook, but at glance it seems ungrammatical, "people that study in this field" in a noun phrase and you shouldn't slam in-between.

>I acquired this belief after observing the employablity and overall contentedness of the people who work in this field with their lives.

I dunno, it's probably correct, but it sounds pompous and stupid.

When you try to make yourself sound smarter than you are, you generally make yourself look dumber.

It is syntactically correct, albeit unpleasant. You can just remove "with their lives" altogether since "overall contentedness" makes it pretty clear you are not talking about what these people think of your mom's cunt.

"people that study in this field" is a noun phrase, as is "contentedness". It sounds awkward if you break up a noun phrase with a prepositional phrase (with their lives) that modifies the other noun "contentedness".
So it would sound better if it was "overall contentedness of people that study in this field with their lives.
