you wouldn't want somebody that hates animals to become a veterinarian just because of money-lust. the animals would suffer, the field as a whole, too. maybe they start buying up veterinary offices and squeeze the business for everything they can, resulting in worse outcomes- more animals dying and suffering, workers get shorted on benefits and pay.

people chasing money ruin things. we want an industry full of people that want to actually build things.

I don't really see the connection to my comment.

In this example wouldn't the programmer be more of a pharmacist? (The animal body the computer and its brain the user?)

Your statement is not wrong, it just seems unrelated.
