I have a friend who is a lawyer who does "ethically sound" work - he primarily works with people who get treated horribly during peaceful protests. He lives fine. He definitely doesn't make "lawyer money", but he doesn't live like a pauper either. I don't know how software lawyers fare, or how people employed by organizations that primarily deal with software ethics (I guess that's the right term) fare, but I'd guess there's a living to be made. While I'm guessing, I'd guess that it's going to get progressively easier for people to make a living in such fields for the next year or five.
