Who cares if you're "aligned with a mission"? It's a paycheck.
- gdulli 7y agoThere are many ways to get a paycheck. What's confusing about having values and working them into your decision about where to get it? The job I have doesn't improve the world, I accept that. But it also doesn't make the world a worse place. I sure as hell would never work for an industry that's creating or enabling smokers. No matter how legal.
