You can think of it as "driven by profit", but it's just as true that it's driven by trying to solve people's problems in a better and/or cheaper way than before. In the end, a business either makes customers lives better, or it dies. I feel good about improving the lives of my employer's customers, as well as about helping my team and my employer do well. I'm not saving the world, sure. But I don't think that's a particularly sane goal for an individual. Having said all that, what really makes a job good for me is the people I work with.
