There is nothing wrong with doing a job for money.

I'm not saying lawyers shouldn't be paid. I'm saying that the idea of going to law school solely to make money is not optimal for the public good.

> solely to make money is not optimal for the public good.

Is there any example where the sole pursuit of money is ever optimal for the public good? Or even that individual?

Not much of the internet as we know it would exist if it weren't for the motivation of money. And not all of the internet is bad.
