Should I convince my entire class to become finance bros (High school)

Hi guys so me and my classmates have been talking about career choices and unis and stuff and I found out they all want to become doctors, dentists, surgeons, lawyers and allthat and 90% want to do it for the money/ parents tell them they'll get loaded af. Ive wanted to do investment banking for a few years so I just asked them why not do IB and earn more than a neurosurgeon does and they just looked at me like i was joking. Most of my aspiring doctor for the money friends are like lowkey geniuses with math and economics so I said I think they would make it in finance. Also i think most of them also doesn't really care about saving lives and wants the money and their parents want to be able to say "oh my child is a doctor"

Ive successfully convinced my friend who is amazing in math to become a quant. Should i to convince more. Its also like 4 years less of education and they wont have to do residency and memorise biology.
