"Teachers don't teach because of how much they'll get paid." Teachers certainly don't do their work for money, but then again if their school has a couple of really good years their school superintendent doesn't walk away with half a billion dollars while the teacher still gets shitty pay and maybe a $500 Christmas bonus. If you really want to change the world for the better volunteer, do charity work, if you want a big say in direction of a project then work with friends on side projects or contribute to important open source projects. But working for people who stand to get (even more) wealthy from your well-below-market-rate work while you're unlikely to recoup basic opportunity costs is just being a sucker. There's nothing noble in that.
