I've had projects that - eventually and incidentally - brought me money, but were not started or done for money.

  The thing about the "money" argument is that one could just as strongly claim that you went to 1st grade "for money".

    And at the end, we end up with the capitalists dream: "I was born... for money"

      I was born into debt. Then, I was forced to go to schools that taught obedience to authority, getting a job, and paying taxes. Then, I saw ads that told me I needed to buy products and run up debt. Then, I eventually didn't care about money except where absolutely necessary. Everything in between made it seem like making money my No. 1 focus was necessary, though. A lifetime of being manipulated and pressured. It all gets better when you can finally pull back the curtain seeing what's really there. :)

    except that there is a certain lack of autonomy both legally, mentally, and physically that prevents first grade aged children from refusing to go to school in many nations. In other words : you can't derive a motivation from an action an individual does if it's something that they're forced to do so socially or legally.
