Is it wrong to code?

Is it wrong to wanna learn how to code only for a well paying job and NOT because you're passionate about it. For example I want to make $75,000 a year. I feel like doing something in the Computer industry will help me hit that goal. So I wanna learn how to code as well as pick up some other skill sets. But this is not because I like coding for a hobby, this is all about the money so I can feel like I'm.. rich. Is it wrong to wanna code for this reason? I'm 21 and all I know so far is HTML & CSS, but I wanna learn more. Just thought I'd say that so people can have a better way of responding to my situation. I wanna learn more about the Computer field, but I feel like I'll be 35 before I hit my goal. I wanna be 27 making 75K a year. Not an old man with kids. Is learning to code for money & not passion a foolish mistake? Please help.

Yes, it's foolish to dedicate your time to something you don't love.

What's not to love about feeling in control and solving puzzles AND making money 24/7?
