I find it weird that you find this weird. Most people I know and know of optimize like this. They are in it for the cash and trying to make as much as possible and then get out as soon as possible. Doesn't matter what the impact is, doesn't matter how unsavory the work is.

Most people I know don't, and a lot of them still do pretty well for themselves, so... to those wo do: Keep telling yourself that, if it makes you feel better I guess, but don't pretend that it's universal for justification.

What people say and what they think and do are wildly different things. It's called "revealed preference".

Think of how many people don't switch jobs at least every 5 years and how many change for a job paying the same or less.
