Feeding your family is your #1 priority. Everything else is a distant second.
The survival instict of a human overpowers all others, any other discussion on this topic is just empty intellectualization.
Do you really think any sane human would be like
"Sure my kids won't be able to go to college, I'll work 2 shitty jobs and our house will be taken away by the bank, but hey, atleast I'll be able to brag before my collegues how good of a person I am".
- rolisz 4y agoC'mon, at least in tech there's plenty of jobs that feed the family without having to compromise your conscience.
- nradov 4y agoEvery large tech company does some shitty things. Every employee compromises their conscience. It's just a matter of degree.
- arbitrary_name 4y agoAnd degree matters.
- cedilla 4y agoWell, no one would frame it like that. Also, very few people are in that false dilemma.
- atemerev 4y agoNot everyone is working in tech.
- fstokesman 4y agoI can't think of any type of job that is both vilified AND one that you could take on the cusp of destitution. And at least for me personally, setting the example to my kids of integrity being one of the most important characteristics you can develop, is a top priority. Taking a position in an evil industry doesn't top that.
