That's pretty much how I'd always imagined those professions are. I'd imagine there are people in law, medicine and finance who genuinely enjoy those jobs even if most are probably just in it for the money. But insurance and accounting seem like things nobody could want to do except for money.

I actually went to grad school for computer science mainly because I just enjoyed being in school and they were paying me to go. Wish I'd scheduled an extra class my last semester so that I'd have a masters right now but I was both overconfident and totally burned out. I also discovered that I'm just not interested in academic CS research. I'd be interested in a stable tenured teaching job somewhere if writing peer reviewed papers and publishing them in journals nobody reads wasn't part of the job description. I'd say most of the other grad students, especially the non-international ones seemed genuinely interested in computer science and the AI research that almost everybody except me was doing.
