If the only motivation for learning more was money, then humanity would not have progressed. The reason we have the arseholes we do in the medical profession and other high paying jobs is because these people are motivated by money. It also says something that 20% of CEOs are straightout psychopaths. Please feel free to google that as well.
It also explains why a studied showed that 95% of doctors who got first class passes cheated to get there.
Clearly we mix with different types of people. I have never studied for moeny. I study because I'm intensely itnerested. Most of the world's real inventors never got rich, and there is a direct correlation between gifted people and the lack of desire to make money.
