There are very, very few jobs that can finance a comfortable middle class life in the United States that aren't largely pointless on a "changing the world"/"helping people"-type scale. Doctors are the only ones that come to mind. We software devs get a fun job that pays enough that we don't have to worry about money at all. If you want to feel like you're making the world a better place, take the 50% paycut and go into the nonprofit sector. They need software devs, too.
