What is another word for self-seekers?
Pronunciation: [sˈɛlfsˈiːkəz] (IPA) 
Self-seekers are individuals who are primarily motivated by personal gain or profit, often at the expense of others. There are many synonyms that can be used to describe such people, such as opportunists, profit-seekers, mercenary, or self-centered individuals. They are often seen as untrustworthy, lacking in integrity, and willing to compromise their principles for their own benefit. These people are often viewed with suspicion and contempt by others, as they are seen as putting their own interests ahead of those of others or society as a whole. While self-seekers may achieve success in the short term, they often have difficulty building long-term relationships or finding lasting fulfillment in life.
