[quote=Anonymous]I think your problem isn't "changing the world," it's "big job." I work for a do-gooder federal agency and know tons of people on the nonprofit side of my field, which most people enter to make a positive difference. I'm friends with tons of teachers, social workers, and medical professionals. I meet people who do cool policy work at my kid's day care, for heaven's sake. This area is crawling with people trying to make the world better. But I don't hang out with people who'd refer to themselves as having a "big job" or "saving the world." A lot of these jobs don't look "big" unless you're cabinet level, and don't pay like your garden variety cybersecurity specialist. And by our 30s we've gotten a little humility about our own personal roles in "saving the world." [/quote]
