I think he meant financially.

I think it's a mistake whether for financial reasons or in terms of personal satisfaction. You go into a field because you are interested in learning and engaging with the problems in that field. Not for status or rewards.

You can't enter a profession on the basis that it will be personally rewarding. You can only leave because it turns out not to be.

Ah okay, I thought he meant personally.
