I'm really wishing there was a down vote option on stories right about now. Passion and a desire for money are not inherent opposites. Bill Gates, Oprah Winfrey, JK Rowling, and Larry Ellison are all great examples of passionate people that achieved great wealth and then were able to help way more people than most of the rest of us can. This quote from the article is just plain insulting and ignorant, “Then there are the others. They have no passion and have deep love for money. The most common example of this is a lawyer or banker.” There are a multitude of lawyers that are passionate about many things and offer their services pro bono to support their cause, whatever it may be. Bankers can advise people to help them prepare for retirement, create budgets, make sure they are not over paying on taxes, grow the economy and create jobs by lending to early stage businesses started by people that don’t already have a silver spoon in their mouth. At the end of the day people are just people. Some are good, some are bad; I would like to believe more good than bad. Some are passionate, some are not; if they are without passion we can not change them.
