I understand you are a student, and you really need a job, but working for an unethical company is not worth it, for your sanity and the world.
You didn't study for years just to end up making the world a worse place.

You are correct, I didn't study for years just to make the world a worse place. I'm not some cartoon villain.
But I also didn't study for years just to make the world a better place.
What I did study for years, was to obtain a valuable skill and a credential thereof. I expect that my lifetime earnings will be significantly higher on account of my education, compared to if I had not perused any undergraduate education; else I would have not spent so much time+tuition+effort.
And if my skill becomes more valuable and rare for certain companies, on account of nothing more than the irrational bias of my peers? Not taking advantage of such an opportunity, is leaving money on the table. It's as irrational as being biased against them in the first place.

I don't understand. Do people actually go crazy whenever their company isn't Robin Hood reincarnate?
After years of difficult math and physics, it can be easy to forget that the most important equation: More Money = Good!
In my experience, there are many opportunities to make a quick buck in life, but taking those opportunities doesn't necessarily lead to a better the world, and can very often make it worse.
If your only concern in life is getting mo' money, don't be surprised when you have plenty of money but a lack of meaningful relationships and personal fulfillment.
Once I'm dead, literally nothing matters to me.
Also, seems like a pretty self-centered way to look at the world IMO and doesn't exactly lead me, as a fellow human, to think that you care at all about my well-being or anyone else's.
Point is - you're assuming that none of it will matter, when the facts are that 1) none of us have no clue what matters or doesn't matter after we're dead and 2) we can identify what matters to the rest of us about someone once that someone is dead, which is more concrete information than you can give me from assuming what you'll care about or not after you die.
TL;DR better safe than sorry. You're playing with fire - regardless of whether or not you believe in hell.
And by the way - I'm speaking from personal experience, as a twenty-something who makes more money than I know what to do with yet feels extremely unsatisfied and unhappy with life.
