Yes and no. I work for an environmental nonprofit and make less than what kids out of college make in many industries. But, I sleep well at night.

I know tons of people who work in finance and are very comfortable to very wealthy and I sometimes think I should have gone that way, most of them don’t seem terribly smart after all. But, in the past couple of years, as we approach middle age, I have had many of those finance friends say they wish they were doing something to make the world a better place. So, the grass is always greener.

Eh - I mean you can tell yourself that, but the truth is the finance friends could use their careers - or their money - to make the world “a better place” if they really wanted to.[/quote]

Yes, but there's a big difference between donating money and being the person who has "boots on the ground". If you like the "thrill" of it all, you will be the "boots on the ground", "frontline" person. Some people need to "feel" what they are doing in the moment. They like to problem solve on an individual level. It has a reward that money doesn't have. [/quote]
