Question:
What is the primary motive of most people who enter the medical profession?
Is it to help people, make money, or something else?
Answers:
It really is both. Don't believe anyone that tells you that they're primarily in it just to "help people". Do you have any idea how many different ways you can "help" someone, but, doesn't involve making 6 figures a year?
There is no one that can go into the medical profession with only the mindset of "I want to save lives" unless they are filthy rich already. Most people go into the field thinking more along the lines of "I want to make lots of money, but, I also have a passion for making people feel better". The reality of it is no one is willing to spend years in medical school without receiving a big payoff. Likewise though, no one is likely going to want to be a doctor if this is something they're really not into.
Really, if you think about it, you HAVE to be somewhat passionate to go into the medical field, it is extremely competitive and if you don't have the mentality to work hard, you simply won't make it, even if your goal is just to make big bucks.
