Financial gain is certainly one factor to consider when selecting a career. But many people do not, and should not, focus on this factor as the main one. The role that money plays in career choice should depend on the priorities, goals and values of the paticular person making the choice.
The main problem with selecting a career primarilu on the basis of money is that for many people to do so would be to ignore one's personal values, needs, and larger life goals. Indeed, many people join one of the helping professions, such as nursing, teaching or social work, well aware tha their career will not be finacially lucrative. Their choice properly stems from an overriding altruistic desire, not from an interest in finacial gain. Others choose to pursue intellectual or creative fulfillment-as a writers,artistis, or musicians---knowning that they are trading off dallors for non-tangible rewards. Still others forego economic gain to work as full-time parents;for these people, family and children are of paramount importance in life. Finally, many people subordinate economic prospects to their desire to live in a particular location; these people may place a high value on recreation, their physical health, or being near a circle of friends.
