Yes, I don't think money is the major determinant of the career decisions of most people. I know plenty of people who have left high paying corporate jobs they hated in order to do something much more pleasant and rewarding. I want a pilot or a surgeon who enjoys their work for its own sake and takes it seriously and not one who is busily figuring out how to get paid more by their customers. I remember a now retired doc who told me that he would lose half of his patients if everyone would just get frequent massages and relax. He sold his practice to a young guy who spent the entire exam writing one prescription after another and trying to get business for his psychotherapist wife. The guy was positively creepy and I never went to him again. I don't trust people whose primary goal in life is to make money. I find them not only shallow but untrustworthy.
