If you are going into medicine because of the potential money you will make you are in it for the wrong reason.
I hear this all the time and I agree with the statement to some degree. I don't want to become a doctor because they make loads of money. If money was my passion I would become a businessman. But often people use your statement as some messed up way of arguing why doctors should be paid less. I don't need the paycheck in order to convince me to be a doctor, I need it to make 10 years of hard work worth the effort.
You can say that doctors should choose their profession because they want to help people, but I'd much rather have a competent doctor than a lousy doctor with good intentions.
