What does "making money" mean?

  What they pay. I didn't sign off 37 of my hours each week because I like a company's logo. I did it because they pay me for it.

    My question was a rhetorical one to get the OP to think about what the relationship between "making money" and "generating value" might be. The way he put it, it's as if they are completely disconnected. Another way to phrase "making money" is "providing a service that people are willing to trade some of their livelihood for." Could that not be a proxy for at least some "positive change"? And anyway, is "change" the only thing of value?

      and i ignored you because this method of trolling with "rhetorical" questions is first of all very disrespectful, and somehow always used by people with predictably boring insights. if you will pay more attention to what i actually wrote, i never implied that "making money" and "positive change" exclude each other, nor did i ever say something so incredibly stupid like saying that providing a livelihood for people was wrong. edit - ok, after rereading the comment: i'm sorry, this was an over the top reaction..
