    Why do people become teachers in the US? Certainly isn't "for the money".

    Have you never heard of scientists or artists? Lots of people prioritize passion over money.

    I know many many artists, and none of them would resist an offer to do what they're passionate about in exchange for lots of money. Or to do what they're not very passionate about in exchange for lots of money. Or even something they downright hate doing, in exchange for lots of money. Having lots of money means you can invest in those things you are passionate about.

    And yet, lots of people choose not to do what they hate for money. Obviously, if you can get paid well for doing what you love is a win-win, but the point of my argument is that a lot of people don't really care about money, beyond having enough to get by.
