I always find such logic incomprehensible. Is a job that suits your interest, contributes to others in a meaningful way, and makes your life rewarding while at the same time keeps you a decent living ever so hard to find? I don't really think so. Why do people have to think like "it's I against the world, the job I do is the enemy of my personal enjoyment"? It's weird and potentially harmful.
In fact quite some people who I see getting into finance jobs with the "getting-enough-money" mentality often end up miserably. Without any love for their jobs, then no wonder.
