Are we asking the wrong questions?

I've always been a social media guy,so when I was going to get admission here in school of physiotherapy, I couldn't find anything on the social media,there was no one there to guide the students struck by MCAT. So, when I get in here, I created a page of School of Physiotherapy and started answering people's queries from the very next year. It was then I realized that our socioeconomic state has changed our priorities so much that we have forgotten what's important. There are lots of wrong questions that I've heard in the past couple of years,the first one is ''what was last year's merit? I got xxx marks,can I get in?" And I used to ask the person what do you know about physiotherapy? And the answer was always like it has something to do with exercise and massage. So,without even having the basic information about a profession,we want to get in,study and be that professional only because some neighbour's son is a PT, has a good job and makes lots of money and has a good car etc. The next wrong question is always about salary, ''what would be my salary after I graduate?" We all know PTs who make millions and other PTs who make about 20k a month, so profession is not  limiting the amount of money you can earn . Its just that some people love and enjoy their profession and others don't. Still no one asks to know what actually Physiotherapy is? What do they exactly do? What are the working conditions? What is physiotherapy's role in modern healthcare system? We all want to know the course duration,merit criteria and salary details after we graduate. What is missing here, moral values and desire to help people, our society is producing healthcare professionals with a primary goal of money making instead of serving humanity. We grow up,study and join different professions not because that's what we want to be, but to make money. Our youth doesn't want to be innovative and make their mark in history,their whole life they are told to be focused on something else.
