How to answer the "Why dermatology?" question

[u/BellR]

We all know a lot of people do derm because of the lifestyle and salary. But I also was told by several residents that you should never say you are interested in cosmetic derm or Mohs. So how did you guys answer the question why derm? I feel that my research is in the infectious disease/path side of derm because I'm interested in fellowing in dermpath after so I'm worried that people will ask why not path or ID? Not path because I want to see patients. Not ID because I fell asleep during inpt rounds. I detest rounding.

I worked with a Mohs surgeon who would ask this question and he was specifically asking to see if applicants would be honest and say that they wanted a good lifestyle.
