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
