That in itself is stupid. Not the fact you said it, but when it's only about money, that, in itself, is stupid. So my comment stands. It's stupid. That culture is stupid.
It's always understood so much for so many about for so many things is about money.
I just don't agree it's a general rule for all as so many say. Even all politicians. I know many go into professions as medicine, law for money but many have more moral reasons for choosing their vocations too. Generalizations such as 'it's all about money' which include all people in whatever the topic is are no doubt at all lazy thinking. Too easy. And invalid.
It was Plato who said, “He, O men, is the wisest, who like Socrates, knows that his wisdom is in truth worth nothing”
