Nobody graduates high school and says "I'm going to go sign up for cancer".

Maybe not in a literal sense, but there are plenty of people who apply for jobs which pose inherent danger to health, including increased risks of cancers, because they need the money.

No one signs up for college to take on all that student debt just because they enjoy it, it's seen as an investment in better job prospects to have a degree similar to how more dangerous jobs pay more. You've got physical danger and financial danger to consider based on your choice. Sometimes both.
