Technically speaking no job needs to exist. I'm not sure why that matters though? Just because it would be better for society doesn't mean the job shouldn't exist. I'm sure there is a job where you could be more productive as well.

- cosmojg 3y agoIronically, I'm currently interviewing for a job at a high-frequency trading firm! I happen to be one of those altruistic weirdos who donates a substantial fraction of their wealth to effective charities, and it turns out that there are few gigs outside of HFT that will facilitate my ability to "earn to give" to the same extent. I genuinely believe that HFT presents a variety of fun and interesting problems and challenges, and I look forward to it! Still, that doesn't mean that I can't have fun and make bank elsewhere. I repeat: high-frequency trading doesn't need to exist.
