That's more like an excuse and even Yang herself admitted it: At least you two have something that drives you. Yang lacks a true motivation and it's understandable that she wants to be a huntress and go on adventures. Why? Because she hasn't found something worthy of her entire life, a goal, a dream, even if it's a person. What drives Yang is the fact that she has nothing so the idea of becoming a huntress to go on adventures is the precise thing that a person with lack of motivation would do. Trust me, I can attest to that.

So finding her mother is currently Yang's purpose and then let's hope she can find something that drives her, otherwise, she can always give up on her career as a huntress and leave Team RWBY behind. And from the way she put it, it seems like Yang is capable of that, she doesn't really care about helping people or not, what she wants is the adventure unlike Ruby who wants to be a heroine.
