This is a such a great question. I find it fascinating that 'contributing positively to society' is not necessarily related to; financial compensation, legality or societal status.
Not implying it should of course, many of us don't have the option to choose our jobs too easily. But some of us certainly are in a position to choose a job which pays higher but has less moral standing.
My next door neighbour works for a pay-day loan company, and seems to be well rewarded. I don't know if he considers this question. Another friend of mine moved from accounting into private equity, with much higher pay. Similar to the high-achieving doctors who go into cosmetic plastic surgery.
Is there any incentive to consider your contribution to society?
