That's one calculus for sure. But most of us choose a career in a field we find congenial. Consider, if you actually like what you're doing and the impact it has on the world, you will likely excel past all those 'in it just for the money'. I'd guess that many fields are managed and run by those who fit the former category. I prefer to be one of those.
