It depends on the job for sure, but you're certainly not wrong that many technical jobs have a negative societal impact. I had a hard time finding jobs I actually wanted to apply to after college because I strongly disliked the idea of working for a company where the sum total of my contribution was making people more likely to click an advertisement or something like that. Felt pretty awful in terms of "meaning" in that way. But there are a lot of tech jobs that aren't like that as well, and I think people have similar feelings about wanting to escape into a more natural world in those ones too. The sum total of which are positive and which are negative is certainly up for debate though. I actually have another post I started writing about the negative second-order effects of certain outcomes of software development in the last decade or so.
