That's not what I'm saying. I can imagine people having a passion for medicine. I can't imagine people having a passion for investment banking. But, I'm sure there are a lot of people who pursue medicine primarily because of the money. If surgeons made $120K max, there wouldn't be nearly as many people willing to go through 12 years of training to do it. What I'm saying is that if more people knew that software engineers can make surgeon/investment banking money, many of them would choose software engineering instead of surgery/investment banking. My theory is that many people just aren't aware of it, and without that information, choose professions that they're less happy with.
