greed for money - no, that's not good........ but greed for what money can do can be good.
greed for love - yes and no; we all want love, but once we've found it being greedy for more could kill it.
and, lastly, greed for knowledge - yes; the 'greed' for knowledge is mostly good........apart from knowledge just for the sake of it when it becomes like greed for money with no good use to put it to.
