Have you ever come across someone who had the most ridiculous reason for choosing a profession?

For example:
Doctor Because they liked "Dr." before their names. Forget the fact that they couldn't handle blood and needles were their enemies.
Armed Forces Because men in uniform are hot.
Teacher Because they wanted to partake in Corporal Punishment.
I wonder do they realize the responsibilities of these professions? Do you think choosing one's profession for all the wrong reasons leads to failure in the future?
Whatever happened to passion, interest and inspiration?
Have you ever found someone's reasons behind their choice of profession a bit strange?

@Kandae lol I can attest to that. After I wrote my final year exams, I realized I didn't want to be a Software Engineer.

I kinda thought so @Daljinder it's also the reason I don't go to doctors, most of them are in it for the money only

@rebelann It very much does. Those are actually one of the most common reasons.

@just4him Tell me about it. That would ruin his professional career if he/she didn't suck it up.

@Daljinder They would be much better off to choose something that they would love doing each and every day.

The reasons why a profession is chosen are several, most being they have no choice.

@allknowing In Indian society I would agree with that. Either their choices are made by their parents or circumstances force them into their chosen professions.

I always thought these things were just stereotypes. I haven't come across those in my line of acquaintances though. Sounds interesting that someone would actually go through with the career.

@rz3300 I fell into teaching because we were tight on money and a job was necessary.
