It seemed to me more like the girls didn't fully explain there reasons rather then lie about wanting to become huntresses.

The reasons they have make sense.

Blake sees the discrimination around her, especially as she's been on the receiving end. She wants to do something about it but doesn't know how but huntresses are respected. Her problem is how do you fight corruption when you are living a lie and hiding the fact she's faunas.

Weiss has had pressure placed upon her to be the best and be seen to be perfect as she is a Schnee. Being a trained huntress is prestigious and honours her family. Her problem is that as Oobleck states if she goes back to Schnee she will be stuck behind a desk leaving everything she does at the academy a waste of time.

Yang is a thrill seeker and enjoys fighting, this side is seen in her being a biker and in her reaction of extending her flight during the induction. That's probably influenced her decision to become a huntress rather than say a bike mechanic. She does of course have other goals she wishes to achieve like finding her mum.
