an end in itself
Meaning: If something is an end in itself, it's done for its own pleasure or benefit rather than for some other purpose like making money.
For example:
- Billy says playing music in a band is an end in itself for him, but I think he does it to meet girls.
- People used to think education was an end in itself, but these days kids study in order to make lots of money when they graduate.
