My apologies. I didn't mean to imply that getting rich and helping the world are mutually exclusive.
By "social-justice related field," I meant I do not want to work in a job where the ultimate purpose is power, profit, or "customer satisfaction." Rather, I would like to work where I am in some way (hopefully more direct than indirect) helping people exit the poverty cycle, helping to survive diseases which are already a non-issue in developed countries, helping to end human trafficking, etc. Obviously, some of these tie more closely to Computer Science than others.
You were on the same page as me when you thought of resource/aid distribution systems. That's the only idea I've come up with for relating social justice to this field.
