I don’t think children chase high grades for money. I’ve been hunting around but can’t find any decent journal article with new students polled on motivations - it would be interesting to see. The things I’m readying are broadly around a want to help people, often after a health scare of their own or a close family member/friend. I’d prefer something a bit more objective than the puff pieces I’m finding.
