I know many many artists, and none of them would resist an offer to do what they’re passionate about in exchange for lots of money. Or to do what they’re not very passionate about in exchange for lots of money. Or even something they downright hate doing, in exchange for lots of money. Having lots of money means you can invest in those things you are passionate about.
And yet, lots of people choose not to do what they hate for money. Obviously, if you can get paid well for doing what you love is a win-win, but the point of my argument is that a lot of people don’t really care about money, beyond having enough to get by.
??? everyone’s priority is money. obviously. how is this a shock?
Why do people become teachers in the US? Certainly isn’t “for the money”.
Most of the time, folks who become teachers don’t have a million dollar career as an alternative.
I’m just giving a basic example of people being motivated outside of money. There are other lines of work that are easier or pay better or both.
Money makes things possible, people will do things they love for the passion of it, but without enough money it isn’t feasible. It’s capitalism, folks
Have you never heard of scientists or artists? Lots of people prioritize passion over money.

that’s crazy. Have yet to see this in reality.
Hi. Plenty of people go for “enough to pay the bills (but contributing to society/enjoyable)” over “the most I could make,” myself included
