My fiends and I really wanted to do good when starting our careers and looked at many non-profits, all of them pay sub-market rates. And then we learned secondhand that most of these non-profits were run by narcissists leaders with worse office politics than regular offices.
We got jobs in regular companies building some of most critical infrastructure of the internet. We felt like we were contributing to advancement of humanity and freedom. But after 10 years, we realized we just made rich kids richer, divided humanity like never before, destroyed privacy, and made sure everyone is addicted to their screens.
I mostly helped in the building of the cloud, and I know what business most of our clients are in. Very few are doing something that is not harmful.
Teach in bootcamp? So that these rich-kids will have more workers?
Start your own business? Consulting? Helping other companies do evil? Another app to get hooked on? Restaurants? There is already obesity epidemic? Build new homes or rehab? I can respect that but it is capital intensive.
Anyways, I see whenever trading is mentioned people call it a useless activity while most of us are engaged in actual harmful activities.
