  I think, and would hope, that medical school interviews would help to weed out those who are just in it for the money. Even in highly-paid specialties, you have to want to do the work you do. Were there people in my class who were in it largely for the prestige, etc.? Sure. Those people tended to go into high-profile specialties like plastics. But they were the minority, and I think that schools recognize in general these types of students are bad for the profession.

  It's not so much about how much you can make but more about how much you need to make to stay afloat. It's a very different story depending on whether you have $0k in debt or $300k in debt.

  Not on that scale. But I know plenty of teachers who chose not to be administrators because they enjoyed what they do. I also know many first level software development managers who “self demoted” to become software developers and took a pay cut. Other developers I know took a pay cut and contracted half the year. You can make those choices if you don’t have outrageous expenses- including student loans.
