I'm also someone who entered the field for money. As someone who grew up in a family of poor immigrants who pushed me to work hard and opened the door to opportunities that I'd have never been exposed to in their home country, it's really great to know that my family will never have to endure that hardship and will enjoy one of the highest qualities of life and that I can give back to my parents who struggled to give me this quality of life.
If anything, one of the challenges I face raising my own family is to make sure my kids don't become complacent and squander the opportunities available to them.
