His motives for going into that line of work have nothing at all to do with this. I'm certainly happy to let professionals manage my investments, since I have no idea what the hell to do with them and it's their job to make money for us both. Some folks really get a high on building a book of business and booking huge gains with it. I know I sure like having good months and getting paid for them. I would be miserable in a job where I knew I was getting the same paycheck every two weeks for as far as the eye could see and/or I could never make more than $XX in that job.
